On the balance of probabilities the court found sufficient evidence that (1) the predicate offence under MACC Act s23(1) was made out via documentary material and rebuttable presumptions, (2) the RM1,000,000 received by the respondent originated from DSNR's account and therefore constituted proceeds of an unlawful activity, and (3) the respondent was not a purchaser in good faith for valuable consideration; accordingly the RM1,000,000 and accrued interest were forfeitable under AMLATFPUAA ss56(2) and vested in the Federal Government under s58.
