KUALA LUMPUR: Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s corruption trial, which is currently at the defence stage in the High Court, has been postponed to allow the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to conduct further investigations.

Deputy public prosecutor (DPP) Abdul Malik Ayob told Justice Collin Lawrence Sequerah that the prosecution could only consider Zahid’s representation after the outcome of the MACC probe is known.

Malik, who is assisting DPP Raja Rozela Raja Toran, said the defence sent representations to the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) in January and February.

“It runs into about 200 pages and we need to peruse the document as it involves complex issues,” he said.

Malik said the MACC was also conducting further investigations into the matter.

“After consulting the attorney-general himself, I am instructed not to object to the defence’s application for a postponement. We need reasonable time to consider the representation,” he added.
