2 aktivis Mandiri ditahan bawah Amla

Two Mandiri activists, Amir Hadi and Dobby Chew, are currently detained under the Anti-Wrongdoing, Anti-Bribery and Anti-Haram Income Act 2001 (Amla). The non-governmental organization (NGO) posted on Facebook that the two activists involved will be brought to the Jinjang Police Station later tonight. Earlier today, Amir and Chew were questioned by officers from the Commercial Crime Investigation Department's (CCID) Bukit Aman unit under anti-money laundering laws.

Hadi serves as the executive director of the NGO, while Chew is the deputy director. On September 18, over 20 police officers raided a shared office in Petaling Jaya between Mandiri and Hayat, an NGO led by Chew. They seized financial records, audit reports, tax returns, payroll records, one computer, and a USB drive containing financial information.

The investigation follows a search of two individuals involved, including freezing bank accounts and travel bans for Amir and Chew under anti-money laundering laws and travel restrictions.
