KUALA LUMPUR: A businessman with a Datuk Seri title who has been implicated in a RM15mil bribery case linked to Home Ministry projects has applied to the Sessions Court to have his charges dropped.
Sim Choo Thiam filed the criminal application via Messrs Low on July 4, and named the public prosecutor as the respondent.
In the notice of application, Sim said that the respondent had breached their statutory obligations under Section 153 and Section 154 of the Criminal Procedure Code and that the investigation of the case, at all material times, was incomplete. He claimed that it was only after he was charged in court that the MACC proceeded to record a statement from former minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin, whose name was mentioned in his charges.
