The Kuala Lumpur Syariah High Court has granted a stay application to Mahmud Abu Bekir Taib, who was ordered to pay his former wife Shahnaz A Majid RM30 million as mutaah, pending the decision of the Syariah Court of Appeal.
Judge Muhamad Abdul Karim Wahab said the court found it reasonable to grant the stay application, based on the applicant’s concerns that he must first apply for loans to pay the amount.
“The applicant is worried that the defendant will spend the amount before the result of the appeal, which would then put him at the losing end.
“That reason is reasonable and should be considered as it is hard to secure the money back if it is already spent," Justice Muhamad said.
