  "account": "Alam Maritim Resources Bhd's group CEO and managing director, Azmi Ahmad, has been detained by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to aid an ongoing investigation. Bursa Malaysia was informed of the remand, but the company clarified that this does not mean Azmi has been found guilty of any wrongdoing. The board has taken steps to maintain the group's operations and will release updates if there are any significant changes.\n\nAzmi has held the position of group CEO and managing director since May 2, 2006. Alam Maritim has a long-standing relationship with Tabung Haji, including a joint venture established in 2009 to invest in and fund offshore marine support vessels. The royal commission of inquiry into Tabung Haji's finances identified investments involving Alam Maritim and TH Marine as part of a list of 14 troubled investments. As a result, RM278 million in value has been impaired.",
  "summary": "Company says Azmi Ahmad's remand is to facilitate an investigation and does not constitute a finding of wrongdoing.",
