Naimah Khalid wants the Federal Court to deliberate whether the charge she is facing violates her rights not to incriminate herself and to a fair trial.

KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court has set Aug 12 to deliver its decision on Naimah Khalid’s appeal against a lower court’s refusal to refer constitutional questions concerning the validity of her asset declaration charge to the Federal Court.

Justice K Muniandy set the date after hearing submissions from deputy public prosecutor Law Chin How and Naimah’s lawyer, Gurdial Singh Nijar.

Naimah, the widow of the late Daim Zainuddin, claimed trial in the sessions court last year to a charge of failing to comply with the terms of an asset declaration notice issued by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
