KUALA LUMPUR: The prosecution has withdrawn its appeal against the acquittal of the late Datuk Shamsubahrin Ismail, founder of Big Blue Taxi Premium Services, on charges of cheating a company director over a cleaning contract at the KLCC building seven years ago. Deputy Public Prosecutor Anis Wahidah Mohamad informed High Court judge Nurulhuda Nur'ain Mohamad Nor that the prosecution was withdrawing the appeal following Shamsubahrin's death at the age of 60 on Wednesday (Feb 11). "Since the respondent's death has been formally notified with a death certificate from Kuala Lumpur Hospital, the prosecution sees no point in proceeding with the appeal. Accordingly, the appeal is withdrawn," said Anis Wahidah. Judge Nurulhuda Nur'ain subsequently struck out the appeal.
