  "account": "Mandiri executive director Amir Hadi disclosed that his personal bank account has been frozen under the Anti-Money Laundering Act. Despite denying any involvement in illegal activities, Hadi stated he is prepared to face an investigation and potential charges. He has also engaged a lawyer to handle further steps. Both Hadi's and Mandiri's finance director Dobby Chew's accounts were frozen on the same day as his travel ban. Neither Hadi nor Chew were informed about the restrictions or questioned by authorities. The situation arose a week after Hadi learned he was under travel restrictions after Chew faced difficulties returning from Jakarta. Despite being initially denied entry into Malaysia, Chew was allowed to enter after Bukit Aman lifted the travel ban.",
  "summary": "Mandiri executive director says he is not involved in any criminal activity and has not been summoned by the police in connection with any investigation.",
