KUALA LUMPUR - The Sessions Court here has given former Perlis Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Azlan Man an extra two months to prepare a request for the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC).

This request is about reviewing five charges of making false claims totaling RM1.18 million and one case of receiving money from illegal activities totaling RM1.06 million.

Judge Azura Alwi decided this after listening to a request from Azlan Man's lawyer, Burhanudeen Abdul Wahid.

The lawyer asked for more time to get everything ready.

Azura has set the next court date for Nov 10, when Azlan's defence team will report on their progress with the request.

But if there's no significant progress, the trial will commence.

During the proceedings, Deputy Public Prosecutor Noralis Mat Rasyidah Azmi Kalai said that all documents related to the case had been handed over to the accused, but the defence still needed to submit a representation letter to the AGC.

Back in June, during a previous court session, Azura agreed to hear all the charges against Azlan together.
