About Nur A'minahtul Mardiah binti Md. Nor
Nur A'minahtul Mardiah binti Md. Nor appears as counsel of record in 5 reported Malaysia judgments (2025–2026). These were heard before MYCOA (4) and MYHC (1).
On the court record
Nur A'minahtul Mardiah binti Md. Nor's reported practice is in criminal litigation, concentrated on offences under the anti-trafficking and anti-migrant-smuggling regime, and it runs from the High Court trial through to the Court of Appeal. The judgments are largely in Bahasa Malaysia.
The core of the work concerns charges under "seksyen 26B(d) Akta Anti Pemerdagangan Orang dan Anti Penyeludupan Migran 2007" (section 26B(d) of the Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Anti-Smuggling of Migrants Act 2007, Act 670), read with "seksyen 34 Kanun Keseksaan" (section 34 of the Penal Code — common intention). At first instance she acted for the accused, where the defence was that the operation was a legitimate Special Branch intelligence operation rather than migrant smuggling, and that undocumented migrants had boarded the boat during a struggle and had to be brought back. At the close of the prosecution case the court held that the prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case ("pihak Pendakwaan gagal membuktikan kes prima facie") and the accused were discharged and acquitted ("OKT-OKT dilepas dan dibebaskan").
The matter then went on appeal, where she acted for the respondents defending the acquittal in the Court of Appeal across several related appeals. Those appeals engaged not only the trafficking provision but a web of procedural and protective statutes — section 170 of the Criminal Procedure Code, the Witness Protection Act 2009 and the giving of evidence in a special manner so that a participant's identity is not disclosed, and section 14 of the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012. The practice is specialised criminal defence and appellate work at the intersection of migrant-smuggling offences, security legislation and witness-protection procedure. The through-line is a defence that first secured an acquittal at the close of the prosecution case and then defended that outcome on appeal, against charges that carry some of the heaviest procedural machinery in the criminal law.
