The hearing of contempt proceedings involving former Umno Supreme Council member Lokman Noor Adam, who was accused of insulting a court policeman and questioning the court system in the trial of Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has been postponed to Aug 17 as the deputy public prosecutor (DPP) is down with Covid-19.

DPP Mohd Isa Mohamed informed High Court judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah that DPP Izalina Abdullah, who handled the case from the very beginning, was infected with the virus yesterday and had to be self-quarantined for a week.
