MACC looking to quiz ex-Felda chairman in prison
MACC chief Abd Halim Aman says they are liaising with the prisons department to arrange for the statement to be taken.
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is seeking to question a former Felda chairman who is currently behind bars in its investigations into alleged misconduct at Felda and its subsidiary, Felda Investment Corporation Sdn Bhd (FIC). MACC chief Abd Halim Aman revealed that they are working with the prisons department to schedule the statement from the individual, one of the key witnesses in the probe.
The MACC has initiated seven investigation papers into the statutory body's investments, specifically focusing on transactions and acquisitions by Felda and FIC spanning from 2010 to 2020. While the name of the former Felda chairman was not disclosed, Isa Samad is presently incarcerated following his conviction on nine corruption charges amounting to RM3.09 million in 2021.
