00:00The Kuala Lumpur High Court has fixed August 12th to deliver its decision in Topwan Naima Abdul Khalid's application for a revision of the Sessions Court's dismissal in her application to refer eight questions regarding the validity of charges she is facing.
00:17Justice K. Muniandi set the date after hearing submissions from Deputy Public Prosecutor Law Chin Hao and Naima's lawyer Datuk Dr. Gurdial Singh Nijar.
00:30Earlier, DPP Law submitted that the proposed questions raised by Naima have no constitutional issue and that the decision by the Sessions Court judge to dismiss her application was correct.
00:43He said a case cited by Naima in the application has been taken out of its context to sustain the notion that she, as a witness, is alleged to have a right to remain silent in the course of investigation.
00:57He added, in other words, a witness has no right to remain silent when he or she is required to assist an investigation.
01:05Therefore, the applicant is under a legal obligation to assist Malaysian anti-corruption commissions in respect of asset declaration of her late husband by complying with the notice under Section 36 of the MACC Act.
01:20On January 23, 2024, Naima was charged with failure to comply with a notice to declare her assets, which included Menara Ilham and several other properties in Kuala Lumpur and Penang.
