Musa Aman claims trial to 16 new charges

Mar 05, 2019

The former Sabah Chief Minister is accused of committing the offences in Hong Kong and Singapore, between 11 and 13 years ago. 

No bail was imposed, as Musa is already out on a RM2 mil bond for his previous corruption charges.

Back in November, he claimed trial on 35 counts of corruption amounting to RM263 mil.
