  "account": "Former Yayasan Bank Rakyat chairman Nazir Hussin Akhtar Hussin has defied a request from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to accept an asset declaration notice. MACC chief commissioner Abd Halim Aman stated that Nazir had requested a court injunction under Section 36 of the MACC Act 2009 to halt the enforcement of the order. Nazir, his wife, and his assistant were summoned to MACC's headquarters today to aid investigations into alleged misappropriation and abuse of power in a RM10 million investment deal. The investigation involved recording statements from Nazir's wife and assistant, which took approximately one and a half hours. Nazir was subsequently served the notice. It remains unclear if and when Nazir was released from MACC's premises.",
  "summary": "He was summoned with his wife and assistant to the MACC headquarters today.",
