00:03The KL High Court has set April 28th as the date to decide whether five corruption charges against former senior
00:10political secretary Datuk Seri Shamsul Iskandar Muhammad Akin will be moved from the session's court.
00:16Justice Noor Ruwina Madnuddin announced the decision date after hearing arguments from both sides.
00:22Shamsul Iskandar filed the transfer application back in February, arguing that the cases involve complex constitutional questions and that moving
00:31them to the High Court would not prejudice either party.
00:34All five charges relate to alleged dealings with businessman Albert Tay and are alleged to have taken place between late
00:402023 and September 2024 at multiple locations including Bukit Bandaraya, Putrajaya and Kajang.
00:48Shamsul Iskandar was first charged at the KL Sessions Court on December 4th last year, with a fifth charge added
00:54the following day at the Shah Alam Sessions Court.
00:57He is accused of using his influence to help Tay's companies win exploration licenses in Sabah, though the alleged acts
01:04were not related to his official duties.
01:06If convicted, each charge carries a maximum jail term of 20 years and a fine of at least five times
01:13the value of the alleged bribe, or 10,000 ringgit, whichever is higher.
