00:08on Wednesday to enable him to travel to Thailand.
00:12He applied for the temporary release of his passport to attend the ASEAN Halal Pavilion
00:17event organised by Tahira Group in Bangkok this Friday and Saturday.
00:22His lawyer, Datuk Hisham Tehpothek, said his client was invited to the event by the Tahira
00:27Group and that the passport would be returned to the court after his return on Monday.
00:33In the affidavit to support his application, Syed Sadiq said he is not a flight risk and
00:38the court had previously released the passport for him to travel abroad and he had returned
00:42the passport to court upon his return.
00:44A three-judge panel allowed his application after Deputy Public Prosecutor Mohammad Afif

00:52On November 9 last year, Syed Sadiq was sentenced to seven years in jail and fined 10 million
00:57ringgit and two strokes of the cane by the KL High Court after he was found guilty of
01:02four charges of criminal breach of trust, misappropriation of funds and money laundering.
01:08He subsequently filed an appeal to the Court of Appeal and the High Court allowed his application
01:13for a stay of execution of all sentences pending the appeal.
