Some states, particularly Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Kedah, Sabah, Sarawak and Penang, have imposed certain conditions before deciding on allowing businesses to resume operations today.

The duo were jointly charged with 13 others.

In a statement issued last night, Salim said if more people are sent to prison, it is not a good thing in light of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The funds are an outcome of the Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiatives of the DOJ in relation to 1MDB.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Ahmad Akram Gharib said the trial was initially supposed to resume on April 15, but since the MCO has been extended to April 28, the case had been deferred again.

The internal memo is directed at High Court deputies and senior registrars nationwide.

The Federal Court chief registrar's office said in a statement today that it had taken note of the Prisons Department director-general Datuk Seri Zulkifli Omar's letter dated April 2, proposing that offenders to the Movement Control Order (MCO) be sentenced to community service instead of jail.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Afzainizam Abdul Aziz confirmed that High Court's Justice Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali fixed the date after the initial date, March 23, was vacated due to the MCO.

"... the complainant wants the MACC to investigate the rise in costs of the ECRL project from RM30 billion to RM44 billion."

Datuk Baljit Singh Sidhu: What they should do is take the offenders’ statements and let them off on police bail with the view of charging them later. This would be safer.
