Mahkamah benar anak perempuan Daim dapat pasport secara kekal
KUALA LUMPUR: Mahkamah Tinggi di sini hari ini membenarkan permohonan anak perempuan kepada bekas Menteri Kewangan Allahyarham Tun Daim Zainuddin untuk mendapatkan pasport antarabangsa secara kekal. Hakim Nurulhuda Nur'Aini Mohamad Nor memutuskan demikian selepas mendengar hujahan Timbalan Pendakwa Raya Nidzuwan Abd Latip dan peguam Rajesh Nagarajan yang mewakili Asnida Abdul Daim, 65, pada prosiding semakan kes berkenaan.

The High Court has allowed an application by Asnida Abdul Daim, daughter of the late former Finance Minister Tun Daim Zainuddin, to have her international passport permanently returned. The court ruled there was no merit in withholding the passport, dismissing concerns that its return would pose a flight risk. The judge stated that the applicant's failure to attend an interview with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) was not proven to be an indicator of intent to abscond.
Asnida, 65, had previously pleaded not guilty to intentionally providing a false sworn statement regarding her shareholdings in five companies. The prosecution had objected to the passport's return, citing her frequent travel for business and her prior non-attendance at MACC, suggesting a potential flight risk. However, her lawyer argued that frequent travel does not automatically equate to a flight risk, especially since she has remained in the country since surrendering her passport.
This decision matters as it relates to the legal rights of an individual facing corruption charges and the court's interpretation of flight risk in relation to passport retention.
