00:00Kuala Lumpur High Court has ordered the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission to

00:06preserve and electrify a service provider's IT infrastructure at its data centre until

00:11the trial of a multi-million ringgit lawsuit next year.

00:14In the suit, New Mayor Sandeeran Berhad accuses the MCMC and six of its current and former

00:19senior officers of misconduct in public office and wrongful interference in trade or business.

00:25The defendants deny the allegations.

00:27On April 18, Judicial Commissioner Rose Mawaror Zain ordered the MCMC to retain custody and

00:34preserve the equipment until the trial, which is scheduled to start on October 6 next year.

00:39The court also ordered that the equipment must stay operational, be kept in a locked

00:42cage under CCTV surveillance and have retrievable recordings.

00:47New Mayor represented by Liu Teck Huat, Reuben Mathiavaranam, Ong Kang Nyong and Kathleen

00:52Samantha George also contended that an abrupt shutdown would damage the integrity of the

00:56equipment and corrupt its data, affecting the forensic analyses needed for the trial.

01:01FMT understands that MCMC has since switched the equipment back on.

01:05The next case management before Rose Mawaror is scheduled for October 1, with parties directed

01:10to complete and submit expert forensic reports on the status and integrity of New Mayor's

01:16IT infrastructure by that date.
