  "account": "Former Tabung Haji chief operating officer Datuk Adi Azuan Abdul Ghani has been charged with a fourth offence related to house renovation costs. The charge brings his total to four, all involving similar offences. Adi Azuan, 56, was charged with receiving RM8,882.77 in renovation costs for a house in Bandar Sri Damansara on March 7, 2017. The renovation was allegedly provided by Thamsulazri Ismail, the director of AG Reka Sdn Bhd, with whom Adi Azuan allegedly had dealings. If convicted, he faces up to two years' imprisonment, a fine, or both. The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) requested the charge to be heard together with the three previous charges in the Shah Alam Sessions Court, citing the same witnesses and investigation papers. The court agreed to the transfer and ordered the latest charge to be heard alongside the three others. Adi Azuan was previously named in a Royal Commission of Inquiry report into Tabung Haji.",
