Ex-minister in TH probe in court for remand
The man in his 60s arrived at the Putrajaya magistrates' court at 10.25am wearing MACC's orange lock-up uniform.
A former minister arrived at the Putrajaya Magistrates Court on Tuesday for remand proceedings in connection with the Tabung Haji (TH) royal commission of inquiry (RCI) report probe. The 60-year-old man was escorted by Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officers in the MACC's orange lock-up uniform. He had been arrested the previous day while at MACC headquarters to provide his statement, reportedly connected to an investigation into a hotel lease issue involving TH in Saudi Arabia.
The RCI report, made public on July 29, revealed management and operational weaknesses at TH between 2014 and 2020, along with problematic investments that required a forensic audit. The report also detailed suspicious transactions and concealed information.
