Court rejects Isa Samad's application for return of impounded passport

Former Felda chairperson Mohd Isa Abdul Samad, who is facing one count of criminal breach of trust (CBT) and nine counts of corruption, today failed in his application to get back his passport, which had been impounded by the court.

Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court judge Azura Alwi dismissed the application on grounds that although Isa was not a flight risk, there was no urgency for him to perform the umrah.
