  "account": "Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim affirmed on today's question-and-answer session that no orders have been issued to halt or delay investigations into Zetrix AI Sdn Bhd and Felda. The enforcement agencies are free to conduct their duties without obstruction, according to Anwar. He acknowledged that investigations can take time, but delays are preferable to inaction.\n\nWhen asked about the progress of investigations into Zetrix AI, Felda, and the Tabung Haji (TH), Anwar stated that road transport department filed a police report concerning Zetrix AI, while the Securities Commission Malaysia also initiated investigations. He explained that a white paper on Felda was presented in 2019, but follow-up actions commenced only after his government assumed power in 2022.\n\nAnwar expressed acceptance of potential delays, attributing them to the thorough scrutiny provided by a special task force established by his administration. The investigation papers for Felda were referred to the Attorney-General's Chambers multiple times, which further extended the process. Regarding the Tabung Haji, Anwar mentioned that the institution's issues were discussed in the Cabinet after his government took office. Despite requests for a delay in action, the investigation was still allowed to proceed.",
