  "account": "Two Malaysian government officials, Amir Hadi and Dobby Chew, have been detained for three days to assist investigations into allegations that the NGO they are associated with received funds from illegal activities between 2024 and the present. The two men are expected to remain in custody at Jinjang Central Prison in Kuala Lumpur, according to The Star.\n\nPolice detained both individuals yesterday under the Prevention of Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism and Proceeds of Crime and Illicit Activities Act 2001 (Act 660), following their testimony at the Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) in Bukit Aman. Earlier today, Prime Minister Ismail announced that both Mandiri and the NGO are being investigated in relation to allegations of receiving suspicious funds from 2024 to the present. The detention of Amir and Chew has sparked outrage from the civil society and DAP politician, who have urged for their immediate release. On September 18, more than 20 police officers raided Mandiri and Hayat's shared office in Petaling Jaya, seizing financial records, audit reports, documentation, salary statements, a computer, and a USB drive containing financial information. Authorities also froze personal and corporate bank accounts under the Act 660, as well as imposed travel restrictions on Amir and Chew.",
