  "account": "Two Malaysian corporate executives, Nazir Hussin Akhtar Hussin and Mubarak Hussin Akhtar Hussin, have taken voluntary garden leave from their executive roles at Avangaad Bhd and Kinergy Advancement Bhd. The action comes amid an investigation by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) into suspected misappropriation and abuse of power in a RM10 million investment deal. Neither company disclosed the specifics of the inquiry, but they emphasized it pertained to unrelated business activities and that no wrongdoing was indicated. The MACC's probe involved the Hussin brothers' involvement in the investment, with Nazir, a former Yayasan Bank Rakyat chairman, alleging the commission's actions were unprofessional.",
  "summary": "Nazir Hussin and Mubarak Hussin stepped aside from Avangaad Bhd and Nazir from Kinergy Advancement Bhd.",
