Kuala Lumpur: The High Court has allowed the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to amend a freeze order on assets linked to Naimah Khalid in London worth 132 million pounds (about RM758.2 million).

Deputy public prosecutor Maziah Mohaide made the application before Justice Azhar Abdul Hamid today, saying the original order was inconsistent with the format required by the UK authorities.

She said the amendments would include the full addresses, title details, and value of the properties, as required by the UK authorities.

The other assets include two residences at Gloucester Place and a CAF Bank Ltd (UK) account held by The Ilham Foundation.

Counsel Syed Afiq Syed Albakri, representing Naimah, told the court that he would have to refile an application to intervene as the proposed amendments would render the original freeze order null and void.

The court previously stayed the ex parte order to hear Naimah’s application to intervene in the case, which was set for today.

The court fixed Aug 8 for case management.
