Former TH chairman Abdul Azeez to face remand proceedings, charges today

Malay Mail reports that former Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH) chairman Datuk Seri Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim is set to face remand proceedings and corruption charges today. Azeez, who was detained by the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission for seven days, was arrested by the Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department and taken to the Dang Wangi police station.

He is expected to face several corruption charges in connection with the Royal Commission of Inquiry's findings of mismanagement and fraudulent practices among TH's top executives. Azeez, a member of Umno's supreme council, served as TH chairman from 2013 to 2018.
