A PERTH man facing a mandatory death sentence in Malaysia for alleged drug trafficking will be a step closer to learning his fate when his trial resumes in Kuala Lumpur today.

Dominic Bird was arrested in a police sting on March 1 last year at a cafe near his apartment in Kuala Lumpur as he allegedly handed a package containing 167 grams of methamphetamine to an undercover police officer.

He faces a mandatory death sentence if convicted.

The prosecution will deliver its closing arguments at the Kuala Lumpur High Court today.

But the case resumes amid allegations of corruption against the prosecution's star witness.

Drug squad detective Inspector Luther Nurjib, who played a key role in Bird's arrest, has been accused of being involved in drug trafficking through his connections with another dealer.

Allegations have also been raised in court of more widespread corruption within the Dang Wangi drug squad, to which Insp Nurjib is assigned.

Lawyers for Bird say the prosecution has failed to prove the case against him.
