Man remanded for 3 days in Felda land sale probe
He is the second person to be remanded today, after a former Felda general manager, as part of investigations into alleged abuse of power.
Two men suspected of abuse of power in Felda land sales have been remanded for three days to aid investigations, according to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). The 50-year-old man, receiving treatment at Putrajaya Hospital, will remain in custody until September 9, ordered by magistrate Ezrene Zakaria following a MACC application.
The case falls under Section 16 of the MACC Act 2009. Earlier, a former Felda general manager, also titled "Datuk," was remanded for five days. The arrests occurred at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya, where the suspects had gone to provide statements. This follows Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's pledge to investigate Felda's issues, sparked by a royal commission report on Tabung Haji (TH) irregularities.
Last week, MACC initiated seven investigations into alleged irregularities, abuse of power, and corruption linked to Felda and its subsidiary, Felda Investment Corporation Sdn Bhd.
