PM: No interference in Zetrix AI, Felda probes
KUALA LUMPUR: No instructions were issued to halt or delay investigations into Zetrix AI Bhd and Felda, with the matters left to enforcement agencies to handle transparently, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim clarified that there were no orders issued to stop or delay investigations into Zetrix AI Bhd and Felda. These matters are to be managed transparently by the enforcement agencies. Anwar stated that some investigations may take considerable time, but this does not imply that the government is protecting anyone from legal consequences.
The Road Transport Department lodged a police report on the Zetrix AI Bhd matter, while the Securities Commission Malaysia has initiated an investigation. Anwar responded to a supplementary question from Ahmad Fadhli Shaari (PN-Pasir Mas) regarding the progress of investigations into various high-profile issues, including Zetrix AI Bhd, the Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH), and Felda.
Anwar explained that a white paper on Felda was issued in 2019, but follow-up actions began only after his administration took office in 2022. A special task force was formed to examine the issue, and the investigation process took around a year before an investigation paper was opened. The Felda investigation papers were referred multiple times to the Attorney-General's Chambers for further scrutiny, which contributed to the lengthy process.
Anwar emphasized that he has no intention of utilizing his powers to delay or obstruct any transparent and open investigation.
