MACC seizes RM141m local assets in Klang Valley sukuk highway fund probe, hunts RM15m abroad
KUALA LUMPUR, June 14 — The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has seized RM141 million in domestic assets and traced another RM15 million abroad in connection with the alleged misappropriation of sukuk funds meant for a Klang Valley highway project. The funds are believed to be linked to a highway concessionaire bearing the title 'Tan Sri'. According to Harian Metro, MACC Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said the seized assets include RM4.5 million from individual accounts, RM33 million from company accounts, RM24.5 million in luxury condominiums and land, RM26 million in high-end watches, RM7.65 million in nine luxury vehicles, and RM10 million worth of jewellery and diamonds. Also confiscated were RM6 million worth of designer handbags, RM3 million in gold bars, figurines and coins, and four horses valued at RM400,000. The RM15 million in overseas assets is still being traced, said Azam. 'Additionally, around RM25 million from the proceeds of illicit activities was used on alcohol and gambling. The total value of assets and transactions uncovered in this sukuk fund abuse case stands at RM156 million. 'The MACC is now working with authorities such as Bank Negara Malaysia and the Attorney General's Chambers to gather information on overseas assets and properties,' he reportedly told the national daily. Azam said that the statement-recording process involving the 'Tan Sri' is ongoing and will resume on June 19. 'So far, statements from 54 individuals have been recorded to assist with investigations,' he reportedly added. Initial investigations suggest the misconduct took place between 2016 and 2020, involving sukuk funds amounting to RM1.35 billion. This includes false claims totalling RM360 million and RM416 million, as well as another RM50 million from bank loans. The RM1.67 billion highway project reportedly failed to meet its deadline. Investigators are also looking into RM12 million in bribes allegedly paid to certain individuals in return for facilitating the outward flow of funds, which were later returned to the suspect. Last month, four individuals — including a Datuk Seri — were arrested in connection with the case. The suspects, three men and one woman aged between their 50s and 70s, were detained when they presented themselves at the MACC's office. They are suspected of submitting RM360 million in false claims using sukuk funds for the highway project between 2016 and 2017.

Bookings will be open until Dec 31, 2025, with the travel period set from April to September 2026. The information department will announce the full booking details and mechanism soon. 'Thank you, AirAsia, for this generous initiative. It not only recognises the contributions of our media practitioners but also encourages greater connectivity and engagement within the Asean region,' Fahmi said at the National Journalists Day (Hawana) 2025 Summit at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur today.

Fahmi: Historic RM30m fund to help media adapt to digital era
KUALA LUMPUR, June 14 — The RM30 million allocation announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim for digital transformation will help media organisations adapt to the evolving media landscape, particularly in facing challenges posed by social media and meeting the expectations of the new generation, especially Gen Z. Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said the fund is one of the largest in the country's journalism history and aims to strengthen the digital capabilities of local media organisations. 'This may be one of the largest allocations ever provided for the media — RM30 million. 'We hope this fund will help media organisations navigate the ongoing changes, especially the emergence of social media and the preferences of new readers and viewers, particularly Gen Z,' he told a press conference after the Hawana 2025 highlight event at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTCKL) today. Themed "Journalism in the New Era: Embracing AI, Safeguarding Ethics", the event was officiated by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and attended by about 1,000 media practitioners from Malaysia and abroad. Also present at the press conference were Communications Ministry secretary-general Datuk Mohamad Fauzi Md Isa, Capital A Bhd chief executive officer Tan Sri Tony Fernandes, and Bernama editor-in-chief Arul Rajoo Durar Raj, who is also Hawana 2025 project director. Fahmi said the fund was partly inspired by the success of a previous collaboration with Google, which involved over 30 media organisations in efforts to find new revenue sources through digital platforms. This year, the partnership continues with a new initiative known as Project Sigma, named to reflect Gen Z's interest in the term. The project aims to help media organisations better understand the content consumption behaviour of the younger generation. 'The results from Project Sigma were very encouraging. The RM30 million fund will not only support similar initiatives but also help media outlets explore new platforms, reach new audiences, and experiment with new formats in the pursuit of sustainability,' he said. Fahmi added that the Communications Ministry will soon announce the mechanism for fund application and management. On the one-off 50 per cent discount for round-trip tickets to any of the 57 Asean destinations, Fahmi said it was not only a token of appreciation from AirAsia to journalists, but also an opportunity to explore the region and strengthen regional ties. He also announced that AirAsia plans to dedicate an aircraft to the media fraternity, with a journalism-themed plane featuring a special name, livery and design to be unveiled at a future event. Earlier, the prime minister announced the RM30 million allocation to support the media industry's adoption of digital technologies and the production of modern content. Hawana 2025, organised by the Communications Ministry with Bernama as the implementing agency, aims to recognise the contributions of media practitioners to national development. May 29 has been gazetted as National Journalists' Day, in conjunction with the first publication of Utusan Melayu on May 29, 1939, to honour the media's role in shaping an informed and progressive society. — Bernama
