MACC nabs company director over RM1.65mil false claim for housing project
PUTRAJAYA: A construction company director with a Datuk title has been arrested by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) for allegedly submitting documents containing false details involving RM1.65mi in connection with the RM162mil Civil Servants Housing (PPAM) project in Perak.
According to a source, the man in his 60s was arrested at about 5.15pm Tuesday (May 6) when he turned up to give his statement at the MACC headquarters here.
"The suspect is believed to have committed the offence in March 2025 by submitting documents with false details to the bank to withdraw about RM1.6mil from a RM69mil financing facility for the project," said the source.
The man has been remanded for five days until May 11 after Magistrate Siti Roslizawati Mohd Zanin allowed the MACC's application at the Putrajaya Magistrate's Court Wednesday (May 7).
MACC Investigation Division senior director Datuk Zainul Darus, when contacted, confirmed the arrest and said the case was being investigated under Section 18 of the MACC Act 2009. — Bernama

Commission completes probe into KLIA visa misconduct
PETALING JAYA: The Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) is set to release the findings of its months-long investigation into the Immigration Department, focusing on allegations of corruption and procedural abuse linked to the issuance of medical tourism visas. The probe, centred on the 'counter setting' operation at KL International Airport (KLIA), has been ongoing since late last year. A representative from the EAIC confirmed the investigation team has completed its report, though declined to provide further details. 'The report has been finalised and a statement will be issued to the media,' the commission's representative told theSun. Launched in October 2024, the investigation focused on claims that foreign nationals were granted medical treatment visas without following standard procedures. The daily had previously reported concerns from healthcare industry experts regarding loopholes in the issuance of medical tourism visas, with some recipients allegedly having never sought treatment at the designated medical facilities. 'Yes, it does happen. For example, someone claims they're visiting a hospital, submits the required documents, but never shows up. They may not even pursue any medical treatment at all once in the country,' said a medical expert involved in the health tourism sector on condition of anonymity. A source from the Immigration Department acknowledged the issue, adding that the matter remained under investigation. 'We have not received any findings yet as the EAIC has not disclosed the outcome of their investigation. 'However, this issue has indeed occurred.' In response to the allegations, the EAIC formed a special task force under Section 17(1) of the EAIC Act 2009 to investigate misconduct. Led by commissioner Datuk Seri Dr Razali Ab Malik, the task force examined the improper issuance of social visit passes under the medical treatment category. In October 2024, investigators seized 156 visa application files from the Immigration Department's Visa, Pass and Permit Division in Putrajaya. Meanwhile, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) exposed a 'counter setting' syndicate at KLIA, in which immigration officers were accused of facilitating the entry of foreign nationals through designated counters in exchange for bribes. The MACC attributed the misconduct to systemic weaknesses within the department, including inadequate officer rotation and lack of internal oversight. Immigration director-general Datuk Zakaria Shaaban has since reaffirmed the department's zero-tolerance stance on corruption, pledging firm disciplinary action against any staff involved, regardless of rank. In January, it was reported that Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail had raised concerns over the misuse of medical tourism visas. He highlighted the emergence of fake clinics and counterfeit medical certificates, particularly in states such as Penang, Malacca and Johor, which are popular among medical tourists. Saifuddin revealed that the Immigration Department had detected cases where visas were obtained using falsified documents and through unlicensed clinics. He stressed the ministry's commitment to enhancing scrutiny of visa applications to curb abuse. Subsequent investigations led to a joint operation by the Immigration Department and Health Ministry, resulting in the arrest of 10 Bangladeshi nationals during raids on clinics run by foreign doctors at nine locations across Kuala Lumpur. As of Feb 22, immigration officers have been questioned in connection with the investigation. Saifuddin told the Dewan Rakyat that the ministry is taking the matter seriously, and upholding a zero-tolerance policy towards breaches of integrity by its officers.

Former MACC chief questions legality of second seizure of Ilham Tower
Former Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Dzulkifli Ahmad has questioned the legality of the second seizure of Ilham Tower, suggesting the move may exceed the bounds of Malaysian law. Now a practising lawyer, Dzulkifli pointed out that the asset had already been seized under Section 38(1) of the MACC Act on Dec 18, 2023. He said action under Section 38 requires the Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) to be satisfied that the asset in question - Ilham Tower - either constitutes the proceeds of, or is evidence related to, a corruption offence. "If no charges are brought or civil forfeiture proceedings initiated before June 17, 2025 - the end of the statutory 18-month period - it raises a fundamental question as to whether the original seizure was justified," he said in a statement today. Dzulkifli, the MACC's third chief commissioner, added that although the MACC Act and the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA) operate under different legal frameworks, two overlapping seizure orders on the same property may be seen as an overreach of authority. "This is because legal powers must be exercised based on necessity, fairness, and proportionality," he said. It was reported yesterday that Ilham Tower, located on Jalan Binjai, had once again been seized by MACC. The commission said it had obtained approval from the DPP to seize the building, which is linked to the late former finance minister Tun Daim Zainuddin. According to the agency, the latest seizure was carried out via an Immovable Property Seizure Notice dated June 4, 2025, under Section 51(1) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (AMLATFPUAA). Dzulkifli said enforcement actions must be grounded in clear legal thresholds, not procedural convenience. "If AMLA is invoked merely to maintain control of the asset as the earlier MACC order nears expiry, it may undermine the rule of law and call into question the legitimacy of the original seizure," he said. He also noted that the absence of further action by June 18 would suggest that Ilham Tower was never genuinely linked to a corruption offence under the MACC Act. "This raises a critical question: why is there now a need for a new seizure order under Section 51 of AMLA? What new evidence, if any, justifies this action?" he asked. He added that the Ilham Tower case presents a significant test of how far enforcement and prosecutorial powers may be exercised within the law. "With the June 17 deadline approaching, all eyes are on the DPP's next move. Will there be a charge? Forfeiture? Or will the order lapse - signalling that the asset was wrongly targeted from the outset?" he said.
