A former chief operating officer of Telekom Malaysia Berhad’s subsidiary company is a free man after the prosecution withdrew its application for an appeal against his acquittal.
High Court judge Justice Datuk Mohamad Zabidin Diah granted the application for Datuk Ibrahim Nasir, who was charged with two counts of bribery.
On April 1, 2008, the prosecution filed an appeal against a Sessions Court decision on March 27 that year which acquitted and discharged Ibrahim, 63, without calling for his defence.
Ibrahim had been charged with dishonestly accepting a bribe of three return air tickets to London totalling RM37,806.
The three tickets were said to have been accepted from Putrajaya Bumi Holding Sdn Bhd general manager Kamal Amir Kamal Hijjaz as an inducement for Ibrahim to give a recommendation to Kamal Amir for a contract to supply a carpet for Telekom Malaysia Berhad’s headquarters
