Former finance minister Tun Daim Zainuddin, at 85-years-old, made headlines as he arrived at the Kuala Lumpur court complex to face charges related to asset disclosure. Despite being wheelchair-bound, Daim faced allegations of not declaring 71 assets to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and claimed trial. In a fiery response, he expressed his determination to fight the charges, labeling them as politically motivated.

Daim's legal saga intensified as he pleaded not guilty to the charges laid against him, showcasing his unwavering resolve. Amid the legal turmoil, Daim openly criticized the government and even referred to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as a 'wolf in sheep's clothing.' The courtroom drama unfolded with revelations about missing asset declarations, including luxury cars and properties.

As the courtroom battles continued, Daim's personal life came into the spotlight with details about his second wife, Naimah Khalid, adding a layer of intrigue to the ongoing legal proceedings. The financial implications of the charges also shed light on companies like Avillion Bhd, leading to a 16.67% drop in share prices following the revelations.

Despite the legal woes, Daim's health concerns surfaced during the proceedings, revealing a surgical procedure to remove one of his eyes due to a fungal infection. As investigations into corruption accusations persist, the former minister's name remains entangled in a web of legal complexities and financial scrutiny.
