About Farah Ezlin Binti Yusop Khan

Farah Ezlin Binti Yusop Khan appears as counsel of record in 4 reported Malaysia judgments (2025–2026). These were heard before MYCOA (3) and MYHC (1).

On the court record

Farah Ezlin Binti Yusop Khan appears in the reported decisions on the prosecution side, acting for the Public Prosecutor in criminal proceedings involving corruption and criminal breach of trust in the High Court and the Court of Appeal.

One matter concerns the venue of a trial. Acting for a respondent in a High Court application, she resisted an application to transfer a case from the subordinate court to the High Court under section 417 of the Criminal Procedure Code, in a prosecution under section 17(a) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009. The court considered whether the requirements of section 417 were satisfied — whether the case raised questions of unusual difficulty, whether a transfer was expedient for the ends of justice, and whether the Sessions Court was incompetent to hear the charges — and found no evidence of incompetence or of any question of unusual difficulty.

A further group of related Court of Appeal appeals, in which she appeared for the prosecution, concerns convictions for abetment of criminal breach of trust and dishonest misappropriation of property under sections 403 and 405 of the Penal Code, together with an offence under section 4(1)(b) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001. The appeals raised whether the High Court had erred in finding that an offence was made out on the charges even if the prosecution evidence was unrebutted or unexplained.

On this record the practice is criminal work on the prosecution side, concentrated in corruption and breach-of-trust offences, where the recurring task is to uphold the way charges are framed and tried — resisting a transfer of venue, and defending on appeal the sufficiency of the evidence and the correctness of the trial court's findings on abetment, misappropriation and money laundering. It is prosecution work in the corruption and white-collar field, argued at both the pre-trial and appellate stages.
