In a courtroom twist, businessman Datuk Mahadi Badrul Zaman begged for bail not over securities charges, but to save his beard. His lawyer argued that prison might force a trim, causing distress, while also noting Mahadi supports his cancer-stricken mother and in-laws.
Beard Trim
Prosecutors countered with investor confidence concerns, proposing RM250,000 bail and strict conditions. Judges eventually allowed RM50,000 bail with one guarantor, plus passport surrender and monthly reporting. Mahadi, husband of singer Heliza Helmi, faces charges of running unlicensed securities business between 2021 and 2024. Conviction could mean RM10 million fine or 10 years in jail.
