They are a former chairperson of the fund and a former Treasury sec-gen.
Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow has decided to hand over the position of a government agency chairman to the federal government amid a Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) investigation. The chief minister emphasized that the state respected the commission's jurisdiction and allowed the investigation to proceed. Concerning the chairman's status, Chow stated that the matter was left to the federal government.
Recently, the 53-year-old chairman was granted bail of RM10,000 after his detention was extended for a week by the magistrate's court. The probe focuses on alleged abuse of power related to the sale of land in Seberang Perai Selatan in 2015.
