Prosecutors announced readiness to challenge a Court of Appeal ruling that cleared Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman of financial crimes related to youth wing funds. The Chief Justice scheduled the Federal Court appeal for late November or early December despite defense requests to postpone until January. Deputy Public Prosecutor Datuk Wan Shaharuddin Wan Ladin confirmed submissions were complete while lawyer Datuk Hisyam Teh Poh Teik must provide written justification for the delay request.

The Court of Appeal acquitted Syed Saddiq in June after the High Court had sentenced him to seven years imprisonment, caning, and a substantial fine. Charges involved criminal breach of trust with RM1 million, misuse of RM120,000, and money laundering of RM100,000 from Bersatu youth wing accounts. The Attorney General filed the Federal Court challenge one day after the acquittal. Federal Court deputy registrar Mahyun Yusof conducted case management proceedings online.
