Attorney General (AG) Tan Sri Idrus Harun told theedgemarkets.com this on Saturday when asked to comment on Ng's case in Malaysia following his conviction in the US on Friday. In Malaysia, Ng is facing charges under the Capital Market Services Act 2007 (CMSA). “We (Malaysia) will wait for the process of sentencing after which Roger [Ng] has the right to appeal against conviction and sentence,” Idrus said briefly. Although Ng is charged with abetment with Goldman Sachs, the charge against the US financial institution was dropped in September 2020 after it agreed to a US$2.5 billion financial settlement with Malaysia. Although the forfeiture was dismissed by the High Court last November, the prosecution is appealing the matter to the Court of Appeal.
