Syed Saddiq's acquittal made purely on legal grounds, says Court of Appeal
PUTRAJAYA: The decision to acquit Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman in the RM1.2mil graft case was made without any influence from media coverage or external opinions, according to the Court of Appeal. Justice Ahmad Zaidi Ibrahim, who chaired the three-judge panel, clarified this after the court delivered its decision to free the Muar MP on Wednesday (June 25). The judge addressed remarks from the prosecution during previous proceedings that the court should not be swayed by public perception. Justice Ahmad Zaidi emphasized that the court's findings were never based on any opinions outside the court. "I think the statement by the prosecution is a bit naughty and unnecessary. Doing so can give rise to slanderous assumptions about how the court arrives at its decision. "The court never goes beyond this trial as the judgment is purely based on appeal records. We never consider any opinion outside the court," he stated. Other judges on the panel were Justices Azman Abdullah and Noorin Badaruddin. Earlier, Justice Noorin spent over an hour reading out the decision in the case. The court allowed Syed Saddiq's appeal and made an order to set aside the High Court's decision that convicted and sentenced him.

KUALA LUMPUR: Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman was visibly emotional and could not hold back tears after being acquitted of all corruption charges today. Just before addressing the media, his tearful mother walked alongside him, accompanied by his lawyer and entourage, as they left the courtroom. Earlier, a three-judge Court of Appeal panel led by Datuk Ahmad Zaidi Ibrahim allowed the former youth and sports minister's appeal, setting aside his conviction, seven-year prison sentence, RM10 million fine, and two strokes of the rotan. The other panel members were Datuk Azman Abdullah and Datuk Noorin Badaruddin. On July 22, 2021, Syed Saddiq was charged—while serving as the Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia Armada wing chief and entrusted with control of its funds—with abetting Bersatu assistant treasurer Rafiq Hakim Razali in committing criminal breach of trust (CBT) in volving RM1 million of Armada's funds.
