Taib’s son vs stepmother: Court sets Aug 15 for case management

The Kuching High Court today fixed Aug 15 for the case management of an application for injunction filed by former deputy tourism minister Sulaiman Abdul Rahman Taib against his stepmother, Raghad Kurdi Taib.

Kuching High Court judicial commissioner Alexander Siew How Wai fixed the date after hearing the application, which also named RHB Bank Berhad as the second defendant in the suit.

The statement of claim filed by Sulaiman (above) in his case against Raghad, however, was not read in the open court proceedings.

The proceedings also heard that the plaintiffs and defendants made an undertaking not to deal with, and or sell the impugned shares as stated in the statement pending the end of the application.

Sulaiman, who is also Cahya Mata Sarawak Berhad group managing director, was represented by counsels Alvin Chong and Jonathan Tay while Alvin Yong and six other lawyers represented Raghad in the case.

RHB Bank, meanwhile, was represented by Tan Kee Heng and Lesley Ling Lyn.

Earlier news reports stated that Sulaiman sought an injunction over the transfer of shares of a private company to Raghad.

Sulaiman is the second son of Sarawak Governor Abdul Taib Mahmud through his first marriage with Laila Taib, who passed away on April 29, 2009.

Taib married Raghad on Dec 18, 2010.
