Yayasan Bank Rakyat ex-chairman Nazir refuses to accept asset declaration notice
He was summoned with his wife and assistant to the MACC headquarters today.
Former Yayasan Bank Rakyat chairman Nazir Hussin Akhtar Hussin has defied a request from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to accept a notice of asset declaration. The MACC chief commissioner, Abd Halim Aman, revealed that Nazir rejected the notice due to a legal battle he is waging in the Kuala Lumpur High Court. Nazir had sought an injunction to halt the enforcement of the order under Section 36 of the MACC Act 2009.
At a press conference today, Halim stated that Nazir, along with his wife and assistant, were summoned to MACC's headquarters to cooperate in investigations regarding a RM10 million investment deal involving alleged misappropriation and abuse of power. The investigation team recorded statements from Nazir's wife and assistant for a duration of 1.5 hours before releasing them at approximately 1:15 PM. However, it remains unclear if and when Nazir himself was released.
