Federal Court defers Syed Saddiq decision to July 13

On June 25 last year, the Court of Appeal acquitted Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, setting aside his sentence of seven years’ imprisonment, two strokes of the rotan, and a RM10 million fine.

PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court has deferred its decision on the prosecution’s final appeal against the acquittal of Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman to July 13.

A three-member panel was supposed to deliver its ruling today, but Court of Appeal president Abu Bakar Jais said Justice Ruzima Ghazali could not be present as she was on medical leave.

Abu Bakar said it was therefore not appropriate to deliver the ruling today.
