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, in his 60s, arrived at the Putrajaya magistrates court for remand proceedings on Tuesday. This former minister is being held in connection with investigations stemming from the royal commission of inquiry (RCI) report on the Tabung Haji (TH). The man was escorted by Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officers, as seen in a Bernama photograph.
He arrived at the court at 10.25am, wearing MACC's distinctive orange lock-up uniform, indicating his arrest occurred the previous day at 4.30pm. The arrest reportedly took place at MACC headquarters, where he was being recorded for a statement. This arrest is believed to be linked to a hotel lease dispute involving TH in Saudi Arabia.
The RCI report, made public on July 29, detailed various shortcomings in TH's management and operations between 2014 and 2020. It also listed problematic investments necessitating forensic audits and highlighted suspicious transactions and concealment of information.
