Former finance minister Tun Daim Zainuddin and his family’s appeal was rejected by the Court of Appeal today. — Picture by Firdaus LatifPUTRAJAYA, May 9 — The Court of Appeal today rejected the appeal by former finance minister Tun Daim Zainuddin and his family to overturn a High Court’s dismissal of their application to obtain leave for a judicial review challenging the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s investigation into their financial affairs.
Citing Order 53 from the Rules of the Court 2012, she said that Daim’s case is not open for review because he who had once held much power as a former government official, is now under criminal investigation.“To hold otherwise, in our mind we would be exposing the criminal investigative process of all law enforcement agencies in the country. The constant judicial review would surely not have been the intention of Parliament.
“Therefore the answer to the question posed to this court is that the exercise of legitimate power and issuance of notice pursuant to Section 30 of the Act by the first appellant to the third appellant is not amenable to judicial review. On March 4, High Court judge Datuk Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh ruled that Daim and his family failed to establish mala fide elements against the MACC officer who conducted the investigation.
