KiniNews is now also available on Spotify and Apple podcasts.[KiniNews] Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman would have to wait for about two more weeks to learn of his fate over his criminal breach of trust, money laundering and funds misappropriation charges as the Federal Court postponed today’s proceedings.Court of Appeal president Abu Bakar Jais, who appeared on the bench alone this morning, informed the parties that one of the presiding judges, Che Ruzima Ghazali, is on medical leave.In a press conference later, Syed Saddiq mentioned that he has been fighting for justice for the last six years and therefore, he was okay waiting another two weeks to clear his name.Meanwhile, in a separate story, Parti Bersama Malaysia today unveiled a service pledge for its 15 candidates contesting the 16th Johor state election, promising to continue serving their constituencies regardless of the outcome of the polls.Bersama co-leader Rafizi Ramli, who read out the service pledge at the party’s operations centre in Stulang, said the pledges are in line with a focus to become a “functional, competent, and qualified” opposition in the 56-seat Johor state assembly.___________________Support independent media, subscribe to Malaysiakini.com - https://membership.malaysiakini.com/membership/start?internal_source=kinitv
