PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal has postponed its decision on Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman’s appeal, with proceedings set to continue on Thursday, The Vibes reported.
The former Youth and Sports Minister is challenging his conviction on four charges linked to the misappropriation of Armada funds.
The Kuala Lumpur High Court found him guilty in November 2023, sentencing him to seven years in prison, two strokes of the cane, and a RM10 million fine.
His appeal is based on 18 grounds, arguing that the trial judge misinterpreted the law and wrongly convicted him under Section 405 of the Penal Code.
If the Court of Appeal upholds the conviction, he may take the case to the Federal Court, but if his appeal succeeds, he will be acquitted immediately.
