"He is not too well. He cannot stand for long," Abu Sahid's lawyer, Datuk Hisyam Teh Poh Teik, told the court.
He pleaded not guilty to all charges before Judge Suzana Hussin.
"Understood… not guilty," the 74-year-old prominent corporate figure said after each charge was read by the court interpreter.
For the CBT charges, Abu Sahid is accused in his capacity as director of Maju Holdings of committing the offences at CIMB Bank Berhad in Bukit Tunku, Kuala Lumpur.
