MACC looking to quiz ex-Felda chairman in prison

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is planning to question a former Felda chairman who is currently in prison as part of its investigation into the statutory body's investment arm. MACC chief Abd Halim Aman stated that they are in contact with the prisons department to arrange for the statement of one of the main witnesses, who is currently serving time for a graft conviction.

The probe will focus on investment transactions and asset acquisitions by Felda and its subsidiary, Felda Investment Corporation Sdn Bhd (FIC), spanning a 10-year period from 2010 to 2020. While the specific name of the former Felda chairman was not disclosed, Isa Samad is serving a six-year jail sentence after being convicted on nine corruption charges involving RM3.09 million in 2021.
