Sikh veterans association suspended pending forensic audit
Veterans' affairs department director-general Semaon Marjuki orders audit of the Malaysian Armed Forces Sikh Veterans Association in response to complaints of misappropriation of funds.
The Malaysian Armed Forces Sikh Veterans Association (MAFSVA) has been suspended by the veterans affairs department pending a forensic audit, following allegations of financial mismanagement. The department issued a letter on August 21 to the MAFSVA, instructing the group to commission an independent audit and submit a report within four months.
JHEV director-general Semaon Marjuki stated that the department is taking the matter seriously, as it could harm the image of veterans if unaddressed. The association has been barred from holding any activities, including meetings, until the audit is completed. However, an exception will be made for the association to officially appoint the auditor and make necessary payments for the audit. The MAFSVA president and a JHEV spokesperson declined to comment when contacted.
