00:00 The prosecution has submitted a preliminary objection to Topwa Naima Khalid's application

00:10 as provided under the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act.
00:14 In an affidavit in reply sworn by MACC Deputy Public Prosecutor Mazia Mohaidi, the prosecution

00:37 According to Mazia, Section 36 of the MACC Act 2009 is a provision that authorises MACC
00:45 officers to obtain information for investigation purposes.
00:49 She also said the provision also does not violate Article 8 of the Federal Constitution.

01:00 on Friday, Judge Azura Alwi set May 21 to hear Naima's application.
