KUALA LUMPUR: The Sessions Court here has fixed Sept 4 to hear the decision on the representation by Segambut Bersatu deputy division chief Adam Radlan Adam Muhammad to the Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) to quash his 12 graft charges linked to the Jana Wibawa project.
DPP Mohamad Fadhly Mohd Zamry informed Sessions judge Suzana Hussin that the prosecution had yet to come to a decision on the representation, filed on July 4.

“Today is fixed for the decision on the representation. However, our side has yet to obtain a decision.
“The prosecution just received a new date from the AGC for the decision, which is Aug 28,” he said on Tuesday (Aug 6).
The prosecution asked the court to fix a new mention date and sought a postponement of the trial, which was scheduled to resume on Wednesday (Aug 7).
Adam Radlan’s lawyer Datuk Seri Rajan Navaratnam had no objection.
Suzana then vacated Wednesday’s hearing date.

Adam Radlan, 43, is accused of soliciting cash bribes for himself between 3.5% and 7% of the value of a project that would be acquired by a managing director of MIE Infrastructure & Energy Sdn Bhd.
The money was an inducement for him to help the company obtain an acceptance letter under the Jana Wibawa programme from the government.
For the second charge, Adam Radlan was accused of receiving RM500,000 through his CIMB Bank account from the MIE Infrastructure & Energy managing director as an inducement for him to assist the company in receiving an acceptance letter for a RM47.8mil project called "Projek Membina Jalan Sg. Adam ke Kg. Banat, Perlis" from the government through direct negotiations.
Both charges were framed under Section 16(a)(A) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act 2009.

He is also facing two counts of receiving RM4.1mil in bribes from two individuals for helping Nepturis Sdn Bhd and MIE obtain two similar Jana Wibawa projects.
He was further charged with one count of soliciting RM2mil as an inducement to help Nepturis secure another Jana Wibawa project.
Adam also faces seven charges of laundering more than RM3mil under Section 4(1)(b) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.
The offences were allegedly committed around Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya between March 2021 and January last year.
