  "account": "The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) continued questioning a former chief financial officer of a statutory body on Tuesday, marking the third day of their investigation into Tabung Haji. The individual was initially brought to the MACC's headquarters around 10 am and was questioned for over seven hours, concluding at approximately 5:30 pm. MACC chief commissioner Abd Halim Aman announced that the questioning would continue the following day. The probe is focused on allegations of abuse of power concerning the acquisition of shares in two plantation companies, valued at RM370 million. The former CFO, along with the former CEO of the statutory body, was arrested by the MACC earlier in the week as part of their probe related to the royal commission of inquiry (RCI) report on Tabung Haji. However, both individuals were released due to health reasons.",
