Deputy public prosecutor Fadhly Zamry told the sessions court here today that the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) was currently unable to inform the court of the AG’s decision on the matter

“We were informed that the AGC would give us its final decision by Aug 28.

“We hope the court can fix another case management date after Aug 28 and vacate the trial tomorrow,” he added.

Judge Suzana Hussin then fixed the matter for case management on Sept 4 pending the AG’s decision.

Adam was represented by lawyer Rajan Navaratnam.

On Feb 21, 2023, Adam was charged with one count of soliciting a cash bribe of 3.5%-7% of a RM47.8 million road construction project from Mat Jusoh Mamat, the managing director of MIE Infrastructure & Energy Sdn Bhd.

He was also charged with another count of accepting a bribe of RM500,000 from Mat Jusoh as an inducement to help the company secure the same project from the government through direct negotiations.

In February this year, Adam was charged with two counts of receiving RM4.1 million in bribes from Lian Tan Chuan and Mat Jusoh for helping Nepturis Sdn Bhd and MIE obtain two similar Jana Wibawa projects.

He was further charged with one count of soliciting RM2 million from Lian as an inducement to help Nepturis secure another Jana Wibawa project.

Adam also faces seven charges of laundering more than RM3 million under Section 4(1)(b) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.

The offences were allegedly committed around Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya between March 2021 and January 2023.
