Former solicitor-general Mohd Yusof and Hisyam Teh will now handle Syed Saddiq’s appeals

Muar MP was sentenced to seven-years jail, fined RM10 million, two strokes of the cane for CBT and money laundering

PUTRAJAYA – Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman has appointed new lawyers to represent him in his appeal against his conviction, jail sentence and caning for criminal breach of trust (CBT), misappropriation of funds and money laundering.

His lawyer Alex Tan Chie Sian, from Messrs Wong Kian Kheong, when contacted by Bernama, confirmed that former Solicitor-General II Mohd Datuk Mohd Yusof Zainal Abidin and senior lawyer Datuk Hisyam Teh Poh Teik, will represent the former chief of Bersatu’s youth wing, Armada, at the Court of Appeal.

Tan said law firm Messrs Wong Kian Kheong has taken over as Syed Saddiq’s solicitors in the appeal with Mohd Yusof as the lead counsel.

A case management was conducted today before Court of Appeal senior assistant registrar Nurul Azrina Mohamed, who fixed another case management date on March 15, as the appeal record and grounds of judgment were not ready.

Deputy public prosecutor Mohd ‘Afif Ali appearing for the prosecution attended the case management today, along with Tan.

Syed Saddiq’s previous lead counsel Gobind Singh Deo was appointed Minister of Digital during the Cabinet reshuffle on December 12, last year.

On November 9, Syed Saddiq, who is also former youth and sports minister and Muda president, was sentenced to seven-years jail and fined RM10 million and two strokes of the cane by the Kuala Lumpur High Court after being found guilty of four charges.

The High Court allowed Syed Saddiq’s application to stay the execution of all sentences pending appeal. – January 18, 2024
