  "account": "The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) concluded its questioning of a former chief financial officer (CFO) on its fourth and final day of investigation into Tabung Haji. Spanning over nine hours, the session commenced at 9am and concluded at 6.30pm. MACC chief commissioner Abd Halim Aman announced that this marked the final day of recordings for the former senior official, following the probe's inception on Tuesday. The inquiry focuses on accusations of abuse of power surrounding the acquisition of RM370 million in shares in two plantation companies. Notably, both the former CFO and the former CEO of the statutory body were apprehended by MACC earlier in the week as part of their probe following the royal commission of inquiry's report on Tabung Haji. However, both individuals were released due to health-related circumstances.",
  "summary": "The former senior official had his statement recorded from 9am until 6.30pm today, says the anti-graft agency.",
