No guarantee Daim’s wife wouldn’t abscond if passport returned - DPP

The prosecution contended that there is no guarantee that the wife of former finance minister Daim Zainuddin would not abscond, hence the need for the criminal court to hold on to her passport.

However, the legal team for Na’imah Abdul Khalid countered that her passport ought to be returned as the criminal court impounded the travel document without being provided with specific reasons by prosecutors on why she was a flight risk.
