Siasatan terhadap pelaburan KWAP dalam eFishery masih jalan
Siasatan belum menemukan sebarang unsur salah laku jenayah melibatkan rasuah atau penyelewengan berkaitan pelaburan KWAP dalam eFishery.
The Ministry of Finance has disclosed that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Agency (SPRM) is still investigating investments made by KWAP (Kumpulan Wang Persaraan Diperbadankan) in the Indonesian aquaculture technology company, eFishery. According to the Ministry, the investigation has not uncovered any criminal wrongdoing related to corruption or fraud involving KWAP's investment in eFishery, as previously reported by the media on August 13, 2026.
KWAP is cooperating with the authorities and the investor consortium to take the appropriate actions against responsible parties.
The Ministry also stated that efforts are being made through the appropriate channels to maximize the recovery of investment losses. A written response in Parliament confirmed that the investigation is ongoing to maximize the recovery of investment value. The Ministry responded to a question from the Communications and Multimedia Minister (PN-Sabak Bernama) regarding confirmation of KWAP's investment of around RM200 million in eFishery, which is now exposed to fraud.
The Minister asked for clarification on the individuals who approved the investment and their responsibility for the failure, as well as whether KWAP would take action against the involved parties.
According to the Ministry of Finance, the investment in eFishery has undergone a review and management process that includes international certified audit assurance based on the available information at the time. However, it was found that the company was subsequently involved in financial manipulation and distortion of facts in its financial report.
This occurred despite the fact that the review process had included in-depth analysis, independent review, and examination of the financial, legal, and operational aspects before the investment was approved. Several major global investors also suffered losses due to the wrongdoing, according to the Ministry. KWAP holds a minority stake in eFishery, while most of the company's shares are held by other investors, including major global investors.
