KUALA LUMPUR: The widow of Tan Sri Jamaludin Jarjis, Puan Sri Kalsom Ismail, has filed a matrimonial property claim amounting to more than RM2bil against her four children and mother-in-law. The case will proceed to trial after the parties failed to reach a resolution at the Syariah High Court in Kuala Lumpur on Monday (Sept 11).
Kalsom has named her four children, Ikwan Hafiz, Nur Anis, Nurul Alyaa, and Noor Adilla, as well as her mother-in-law, Aminah Abdullah, as the defendants in the case.
Syarie lawyer Nur Hidayah A Bakar, representing Aminah, stated that all parties involved were unable to come to an agreement, leading the court to decide that the case will proceed to trial. A case management hearing will be held on October 9 to set the trial date. The proceedings took place behind closed doors before Syarie judge Abdul Shukor Abd Hamid.
Kalsom was represented by Syarie lawyer Datuk Sulaiman Abdullah.
In October 2018, Kalsom, who is 67 years old, filed a claim for matrimonial property, which includes 20 properties in Malaysia and Makkah, as well as several companies. She named her four children and mother-in-law as the defendants in the case.
The late Jamaludin, who was also the former Malaysian Ambassador to the United States, passed away on April 4, 2015, when the helicopter he was traveling in from Pekan, Pahang, to Kuala Lumpur crashed in Kampung Sungai Pening, Semenyih, Selangor at 4:55 pm.
Also killed in the crash were his pilot, Captain Clifford William Fournier, former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s private secretary Datuk Seri Azlin Alias, businessman Datuk Tan Huat Seang, Jamaludin’s personal aide Razakan Seran, and a woman known as Aidana Baizieva. – Bernama
