Former TH COO suffer chest pain, charges deferred to Sept 24

SHAH ALAM: Datuk Adi Azuan Abdul Ghani, the former chief operating officer of Lembaga Tabung Haji, was admitted to the hospital on August 31 after experiencing chest pain. This news came just before he was set to face charges at the Sessions Court. His wife revealed that he was examined with an ECG and angiogram, and the case has been adjourned to September 24 at 9am.

The charges against him involve three offenses under Section 165 of the Penal Code, which deals with public servants obtaining valuable items without consideration. The TH financial crisis began due to a mismatch between its assets and liabilities, prompting a large-scale recovery plan and a Royal Commission of Inquiry. Seven individuals, including a former minister and a former TH senior management member, were detained on August 14 to aid the MACC investigation.
