  "account": "Former Felda chairman Datuk was arrested by SPRM after being requested to provide explanations at the SPRM headquarters in Putrajaya, yesterday. PETALING JAYA: The former chairman of Felda will be detained for five days until September 11 to assist with the investigation into project overruns and land sales. The order to detain was issued by Majistret Ezrene Zakariah after a request was made by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (SPRM) in the Majistret Court in Putrajaya, according to Utusan Malaysia. The 60-year-old man appeared in court wearing a green suit with hands not cuffed, riding in a SPRM van. The court was informed by a source that a request for detention of another individual facing health issues will be handled by a hospital. Both were detained by SPRM after being requested to provide explanations at the SPRM headquarters in Putrajaya yesterday. The incident occurred several weeks after Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced the government's intention to investigate the Felda issue, following the release of the Royal Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (RCI) report on Tabung Haji. The PM stated that the inquiry into the royal institution should not end with Tabung Haji alone. Last week, SPRM opened seven investigations related to allegations of breach of privilege, misuse of power, and corruption involving Felda and its subsidiary, Felda Investment Corporation Sdn Bhd.",
