My dad not arrested by MACC, says son of former Tabung Haji chairman
Speculation that former Baling MP Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim had been arrested has been widespread on social media since last night.
Khairul Azman, son of former Tabung Haji chairman Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim, has denied allegations on social media that his father was arrested by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) earlier today. In a Facebook post, Khairul Azman stated that his father is currently at home resting and refuted reports of his arrest in relation to the Tabung Haji Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) Report, which was released on July 29.
The family hopes that any investigation involving his father will be conducted with utmost integrity, fairness, and transparency. Azeez, who served as Tabung Haji's chairman, had previously expressed his willingness to cooperate fully with any investigation into the RCI Report. Earlier this week, a special session of the Dewan Rakyat was convened to allow the report to be presented and discussed by members of Parliament.
