Former Perlis mentri besar Datuk Seri Azlan Man plans to submit a representation to the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) for a review of the 10 charges against him. These charges include making false claims and receiving proceeds from illegal activities.
Azlan’s lawyer, Burhanudeen Abdul Wahid, informed the court that they have received the related documents from the prosecution. They are currently examining the documents to complete the representation.
He stated, “We request an extension of time to complete the representation. Therefore, we request Nov 10 as the case management date to update the court on the representation status.”
Deputy public prosecutor Noralis Mat Rasyidah Azmi Kalai confirmed that the prosecution has handed over the documents related to the case to the defence team. She did not object to the requested case management date.
Judge Azura Alwi granted a two-month extension for the defence to complete their representation.
She stated, “I set Nov 10 for the case management for both parties to report on the progress of the representation. If there is no further development on that date, both parties must be prepared for the trial date.”
On April 10, Azlan was charged at Kangar Sessions Court in Perlis with five counts of submitting false overseas travel claims totaling over RM1.18 million between December 2013 and December 2017.
He was charged under Section 18 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009, which carries a punishment under Section 24(2) of the same act.
On April 12, he pleaded not guilty at the Sessions Court in receiving proceeds from unlawful activities. He is accused of receiving RM1.06 million between Feb 19, 2014, and December 2017.
Azlan allegedly committed the offense at the Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman Maybank branch, the CIMB Bank branch in Putrajaya, and the Sheraton Imperial Hotel, under Section 4(1)(b) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.
On June 9, Judge Azura allowed all the charges to be heard together at the Sessions Court. – Bernama
