The trial of Muhdalena Ahmad, who ran amok outside the Prime Minister's Department, has been postponed after she was diagnosed with depression and psychosis.
Counsel M. Visvanathan told the Sessions Court that he had received a medical certificate (MC) for Muhdalena from Putrajaya Hospital, dated June 11.
The certificate issued by a medical officer from the Psychiatric and Mental Health department stated that Muhdalena had been diagnosed with "major depressive disorder with psychosis".
"The MC is for the duration of June 11 to July 11, as such I ask that the case be postponed," said Visvanathan.
The prosecution, lead by DPP Kalmizah Salleh, raised no objection.
