Kuala Lumpur: The High Court has granted the wife of the late Tun Daim Zainuddin to represent the former Finance Minister’s estate in their legal challenge over the seizure of their assets and freezing of accounts linked to ongoing investigations.

Judge Hayatul Akmal Abdul Aziz made the ruling following no objections from the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) against Toh Puan Na’imah Abdul Khalid’s application.

The application comes after Daim’s passing in November last year. The court also set tomorrow for case management.

On June 6, Daim and his family members filed the application seeking an order to set aside the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s action (MACC) in seizing their movable assets, under Section 50 of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorist Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (AMLATFPUAA).
