Saravanan, family arrive at MACC headquarters for asset declaration notices

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 28 — Datuk Seri M. Saravanan, a former human resources minister and current Tapah MP, along with his family, are currently at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters in Putrajaya to receive statutory asset declaration notices, according to NST. The convoy of two multi-purpose vehicles containing Saravanan, his wife, and two children arrived at the main entrance at 9.15am on Friday.

Saravanan is currently facing three charges of corruption, totaling RM1.097 million in alleged kickbacks, which date back to four years ago and are related to the approval of a foreign worker recruitment quota for TYKB Engineering Sdn Bhd. He, who also serves as MIC deputy president, pleaded guilty to all three charges in the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court on August 28.

On Friday, MACC Chief Commissioner Datuk Seri Abd Halim Aman announced that investigators would formally deliver the asset declaration notices to Saravanan, his wife, and their three children, requesting that they attend the MACC headquarters to receive them.
