S'wak CM's son to face contempt proceedings

The Kuala Lumpur Syariah High Court today granted permission for Shahnaz A Majid to initiate contempt proceedings against the Sarawak chief minister's son, her former husband.

NONEThis follows Mahmud Abu Bekir Abdul Taib's failure to comply with the demands of his former wife Shahnaz (left), regarding the order of discovery of joint matrimonial assets, given by the High Court on June 27.

No time was given in the order. However Order 135 of the Syariah Court Civil Procedure states that if no time is stated, the act shall be done within seven days from the date of the judgment or order.

Following the non-compliance, the contempt proceeding will be heard on Sept 12, after Justice Mohd Amran Mat Zain granted the leave application today.

The application was made by Shahnaz's counsel Dr Rafie Mohd Shafie and Akbardin Abdul Kader today.

Claim of RM400 million

Shahnaz, who is the sister of jazz queen Sheila Majid, had claimed for RM400 million in joint matrimonial assets.

Rafie said it had been more than a month since the last session and they have yet to receive the necessary documents for discovery.

"We have submitted the necessary documents to Bekir's lawyers and solicitors after Taib Mahmud's son denied receiving the documents at the last session.

On June 27, Rafie claimed they had served the necessary documentation for proof of assets on his client's claim of RM400 million on the son of the Sarawak CM.

NONERafie claimed to have handed Bekir (right) an ex-parte order obtained from the court, dated May 9, calling for a discovery of Bekir's assets in Malaysia and abroad.

He said an attempt was made to hand the order to Bekir on June 22.

However he did not want to receive it when the law firm's representative had gone to his house in Desa Nusantara, Sri Hartamas, and the maid took it instead.

Bekir's lawyers - Zainul Rijal Abu Bakar and Saadiah Man - denied such assertions.

Shahnaz and Bekir was officially divorced on May 11 after the couple has been married for 19 years, when the politician's son pronounced the talak (divorce announcement). They separated in 1999.

Shahnaz, had filed her application in March where she sought RM300 million in the joint assets accrued during marriage, and RM100 million in compensation. - Malaysiakini
