KUALA LUMPUR: Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman was today sentenced to seven years of imprisonment, a RM10mil fine and two strokes of the cane for all charges of abetting in criminal breach of trust (CBT), misappropriation of funds and money laundering.
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia created another piece of history after securing a decisive legal victory in the French Court that puts an end to the purported Sulu heirs' claims over Malaysian diplomatic assets, says Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.
"They failed in attempts to touch assets that belong to Malaysia and we will not compromise on illegal and baseless claims,” she told members of the media during an online press conference on Thursday. She said Malaysia had notably challenged these measures on the ground of its immunity, in particular the immunity of its diplomatic premises as recognised under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961.
She said Malaysia is taking the necessary steps to ensure that these adverse cost orders are also paid as soon as possible by the Claimants or their litigation funder, Therium. Azalina said in light of these developments, the Government of Malaysia is confident that the ultimate annulment of the purported final award by the Paris Court of Appeal is only a matter of time, and is making every effort to secure that result as quickly as possible.
