KUALA LUMPUR (June 29): The High Court here had today set Sept 4, 2020 for former Goldman Sachs Group Inc banker Roger Ng Chong Hwa’s 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB)-linked case mention to be updated as local authorities seek his return to Malaysia to face charges.

High Court Judge Justice Mohamed Zaini Mazlan set the date at the court today. Ng is still in the US to face 1MDB-linked charges there.

In Malaysia today, deputy public prosecutor Zaki Asyraf Zubir and Ng’s lawyer Datuk Tan Hock Chuan were present at the court to inform Justice Mohamed Zaini on the progress of bringing Ng back to Malaysia.

At the last case management on May 19, Zaki said Ng was still in the US and that the US Department of Justice (DOJ) had requested an extension of Ng's extradition.

Ng is currently under temporary surrender to the US government after the DOJ requested for his extradition to charge him over 1MDB-related offences there.
