On the court record
Farah Yasmin binti Salleh appears in the reported corpus as counsel for the prosecution in criminal litigation, with corruption, forfeiture and forgery among the reported matters at the High Court and Court of Appeal. Her anti-corruption work engages the Akta Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia 2009 (the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009): in one matter the charge was under seksyen 23(1) — menggunakan jawatan atau kedudukan untuk suapan (using one's office or position for gratification) — where a public officer was said to have prepared procurement forms and submitted three quotations, with the lowest quotation coming consistently from a company owned by a relative, the reported catchwords setting out the pattern the prosecution advanced to establish the offence.
Her reported appearances also include a pelucuthakan harta (forfeiture of property) appeal that turned on the burden of proof, the evidence of the investigating officer, kepuasan Pendakwa Raya (the satisfaction of the Public Prosecutor) and the court's consideration of those matters, and a forgery matter engaging the Penal Code — seksyen 471 (using as genuine a forged document), seksyen 464 (making a false document), seksyen 465 (punishment for forgery) and seksyen 24 (the meaning of "dishonestly") — where a question arose whether an alternative charge was defective for failing to state its particulars with sufficiency. Appearing for the prosecution, her reported work engages the elements the state must prove in corruption, forfeiture and forgery cases, and the sufficiency and framing of the charges brought. The reported matters place Farah Yasmin binti Salleh within the field of criminal prosecution, arguing the reach of the anti-corruption and forgery provisions at trial and on appeal. She acts on the prosecution side of the record throughout these reported proceedings. The reported matters also test the framing of the charges themselves, including whether an alternative charge was defective for want of particulars, a reminder that in a prosecution the sufficiency of the charge is as much in issue as the sufficiency of the evidence adduced to prove it.
