Celebrity preacher, NGO secretary to face RM12.3mil misappropriation charges
KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) will charge the chairman of a non-governmental organisation (NGO), who is also a celebrity preacher, and the NGO's secretary at the Seremban Sessions Court tomorrow over the alleged misappropriation of more than RM12 million.
A Malaysian celebrity preacher, who holds the position of chairman in a non-governmental organisation (NGO), is set to face charges of misappropriating over RM12.3 million in NGO funds. According to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), the preacher, in his 30s, along with the NGO’s secretary, will appear in Seremban sessions court tomorrow. The charges stem from allegations that the preacher abused his position to misappropriate the funds for personal gain.
Following their investigation, the Negeri Sembilan MACC took significant action, freezing 15 bank accounts, including three personal, three NGO accounts, and nine company accounts, which together held about RM16.5 million. They also seized RM6,576 in cash, foreign currencies worth 95,568 Saudi Arabian riyal and S$795, along with numerous personal items.
These items included three watches valued at approximately RM5,000, three handbags worth RM3,000, five bracelets totaling RM26,000, a ring worth RM2,000, a necklace valued at RM7,000, and 51 one-gram gold pieces amounting to about RM31,000.
