  "account": "Two Malaysian government officials, Amir Hadi and Dobby Chew, have been detained for three days to assist the investigation into allegations that the NGO received illicit funds between 2024 and now, according to wire material. Both officials will remain in custody at Central Prison Jinjang in Kuala Lumpur, as reported by Bernama. They were detained yesterday under the Prevention of Money Laundering, Anti-Corruption and Illicit Activities Act 2001 (Act Amla) after appearing at the Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) Bukit Aman for questioning. Earlier today, Malaysian Inspector General Khalid Ismail announced that Mandiri is being investigated in connection with the allegation of receiving funds from illicit activities from 2024 onwards. The detention of Amir and Chew has sparked outrage among the civil society and DAP politician, who have demanded their immediate release. On September 18, over 20 police officers raided offices shared by Mandiri and Hayat, an NGO run by Chew. The detained individuals handed over financial records, audit reports, documents, salary sheets of employees, a computer, and a USB drive containing financial information. The authorities also froze personal and corporate bank accounts under Amla, as well as imposing travel restrictions on Amir and Chew.",
