Kuala Lumpur: Datuk Peter Anthony’s (pic) application to transfer a case filed against him at the Sessions Court here to the Kota Kinabalu Sessions Court will be heard in the High Court on March 18.

When contacted by reporters, lawyer Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdulla, who represents the former Sabah infrastructure development minister said the date was set by Judicial Commissioner Datuk Aslam Zainuddin during mention of the case Tuesday.

“Datuk Peter is currently in Sabah but he will appear in court (here) during the hearing of the application,” he said.

Peter, 50, was charged as the managing director of Asli Jati Engineering Sdn Bhd with falsifying a document with regard to a purported collaboration with Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) to fund and set up an M&E technical training centre via direct negotiation in July 2014.

In June last year, the Parti Warisan Sabah vice president was also charged with money laundering and criminal breach of trust in cases filed at the Kota Kinabalu Sessions Court, involving the purchase of Rubber Industry Smallholders Development Authority (Risda) land.
