Ex-Baling MP Azeez detained by Dang Wangi cops, says son
Azman Azeez says his father is expected to be remanded tomorrow.
Former Tabung Haji chairman Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim, once a Baling MP, is set to be charged over alleged corruption, according to his son Azman Azeez. The son shared the news on Facebook, expressing his disappointment and concern for his father's situation. The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is expected to bring charges against Azeez under the MACC Act 2009.
The royal commission of inquiry that investigated Tabung Haji from 2014 to 2020 uncovered issues such as unrecorded losses, inflated profits, political interference in board appointments, and unsustainable hibah payouts. Azman hopes that the investigation will be fair and transparent. He appealed for prayers and urged his followers to seek the truth.
A police source revealed that Azeez will be brought to court to face the MACC charges after obtaining a remand order.
