Deputy public prosecutor Wan Shaharuddin Wan Ladin also withdrew the prosecution’s application to stay all proceedings pending that appeal, and a second application seeking that the case be transferred to another High Court.

Wan Shaharuddin told Justice K Muniandy today that the withdrawals followed an agreement struck with Naimah’s counsel Gurdial Singh Nijar this morning.

“We agree to withdraw the applications to suspend the proceedings and to transfer the proceedings to another court.

“And we undertake to withdraw the appeal at the Court of Appeal against this court’s ruling dated Aug 21, 2025,” said Wan Shaharuddin.

Muniandy recorded the withdrawals of the stay and transfer applications and fixed the case for mention on Nov 10.

Naimah, the widow of former finance minister Daim Zainuddin, claimed trial in the sessions court in January last year to a charge under Section 36(2) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Act 2009 of failing to comply with the terms of an asset declaration notice issued to her.

In February, she filed an application to refer eight questions of law to the High Court under Section 30(1) of the Courts of Judicature Act 1964.

On Feb 18, sessions court judge Azura Alwi rejected the application, ruling that it lacked merit and raised no constitutional questions warranting determination.

However, her ruling was overturned by the High Court on Aug 21, prompting the prosecution to appeal to the Court of Appeal and apply for all proceedings to be stayed.

On Sept 29, the prosecution also sought that the case be transferred to another High Court.
