The Kuala Lumpur High Court today allowed an application by National Union of Bank Employees (NUBE) officials to initiate contempt proceedings against 15 members and former officials as well as their lawyer who had withdrawn RM1.2 million from the union's accounts.
NUBE elected president Abdul Jalil Abdul Hamid said the decision was made by judge Azmel Maamor in his chamber on the grounds that the 15 had breached a Feb 28 court order to immediately return the whole sum.
