Judge Rozina Ayob fixed the date after Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) deputy public prosecutor Allan Suman Pillai told the court that there were some documents still incomplete
“Today the prosecution submitted a document under Section 51A of the Criminal Procedure Code to the defence team
“However, the prosecution needs another date for the submission of further documents in this case,” he said at the mention of the case on Monday (June 10)
Lawyer Datuk K. Kumaraendran, representing Bung Moktar, 60, or his real name Moktar Radin, confirmed that he had received the document
