KOTA KINABALU: The Sessions Court on Thursday granted a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) to a businessman and his two children in a case involving over RM1.3 million in alleged losses to the Sabah Government.
Judge Jason Juga issued the order to former Wullersdorf Resources Sdn Bhd Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Datuk Lo Fui Ming, his son Lo Teck Yong, and daughter Lo Choon Fung following an application by the prosecution.
The trio were previously charged with cheating the government through forged documents relating to the sale of gold ingots mined from Bukit Mantri, Tawau.
The prosecution told the court a new development had emerged and that they may resume charges depending on future circumstances.
Defence counsel Zahir Shah did not object and requested the return of the accused's passports and bail, while Norbert Yapp appeared as watching brief counsel for Wullersdorf Resources Sdn Bhd.
