KUALA LUMPUR: The trial of Muhammad Faisal Hamzah, a former minister’s son and freelance consultant facing a charge of accepting RM100,000 in bribes, will be heard before a new Sessions Court judge. Judge Rozina Ayob, who has been presiding over the case, announced that she will be transferred on Aug 15, and a new judge will take over the proceedings. "The court has scheduled Aug 29 for the remention of the case,” Rozina said during proceedings on Thursday (Aug 8). Earlier, lawyer Chetan Jethwani, representing Muhammad Faisal, noted that the Thursday’s mention was to finalise the list of lawyers appointed to represent the accused. Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) prosecuting officer Selvam T Armugom informed the court that he would handle the case alongside another prosecuting officer, Ikhwan Zaudi Nordin.
