00:27 On January 24, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission said that it had been given the

00:39 Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Tan Sri Azam Baki said the agency had wanted to bring
00:45 Daim's case to court since last week after getting the consent from the Attorney-General's

00:51 On Tuesday, Daim's wife, Tawpuan Naima Abdul Khalid, was charged with failing to declare
00:57 her assets.
00:58 The 67-year-old faces up to five years in jail and a RM100,000 fine if convicted.
