MELAKA: The shariah high court here today allowed the prosecution’s request to postpone the arraignment of Al-Arqam founder Ashaari Muhammad’s three sons, who were arrested during Op Global last month.

Shariah judge Yunus Zin allowed the postponement of the three men’s arraignment to Dec 19, as requested by Melaka chief syarie prosecutor Atras Zin.

Atras applied to postpone the arraignment of the three men on a charge under Section 91 of the Syariah Offences Enactment (Melaka) 1991, read together with Section 623 of the same law, so that they could be charged together with seven others who were arrested with them.

Syarie lawyers Hafizudin Ahmad Mispha and Faizal Mohamad, representing the three brothers, did not object to the application.

In allowing the application, Yunus set bail at RM3,000 with two sureties for each of the three brothers, aged 38, 42 and 45.

The three brothers were among 11 people arrested during raids conducted at 19 premises linked to Global Ikhwan Services and Business Holdings in the state.
