Judge Azura Alwi granted the application after deputy public prosecutor Fadhly Zamri informed the court that the prosecution had no objections to the application.

Her lawyer Nizamuddin Abdul Hamid told the court that his client was seeking a temporary release of her passport for travel between Aug 28 to Sept 9.

He added that Naimah will return her passport to the court on her return.

The court had previously released the passport to Naimah for travel to Europe.

Earlier this year, Naimah claimed trial before the sessions court to a charge of failing to comply with the terms of an asset declaration notice under the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act.

She was accused of failing to declare her ownership of companies, several plots of land here and in Penang, as well as two vehicles.

Naimah was allowed bail of RM250,000 in one surety. Her passport was surrendered to the court as part of her bail conditions.
