Court sets August 3 for hearing in Tun Daim Zainuddin's daughter's case

The Sessions Court in Kuala Lumpur has scheduled August 3 for the next hearing concerning Asnida Daim, the eldest daughter of the late Tun Daim Zainuddin. Asnida faces charges for allegedly failing to declare her shareholdings in five different companies.

Judge Rosli Ahmad set the new date after the prosecution informed the court that the document submission process for Asnida's trial has been completed. However, Deputy Public Prosecutor Nidzuwan Abd. Latip requested an additional hearing date to conduct further reviews and confirm if any more documents need to be submitted.

"Regarding document submission, it can be said that the documents have been fully submitted for now," Nidzuwan stated. "However, I request another mention date for the prosecution to conduct further review if there are more documents to be submitted, and for the lawyers to submit representations and a defense statement."

Asnida, represented by lawyer Nur Izyan Azimi, requested the court to set a mention date several months from now. This would allow her legal team sufficient time to review the submitted documents and receive further instructions from their client regarding the proposal to submit representations. Asnida had previously pleaded not guilty on April 7 to the charge of failing to comply with a notice from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (SPRM) dated November 8, 2023. The charge involves her alleged failure to declare shares in Amiraz Sdn. Bhd., Arida Farms Sdn. Bhd., Kangkung Catering Sdn. Bhd., Transgrade Sdn. Bhd., and Gajah 3 Foods Sdn. Bhd. If convicted, she faces a maximum of five years in prison and a fine of up to RM100,000.
