MACC grills Tan Sri over alleged sukuk fund misuse
KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has questioned a Tan Sri for six hours in connection with an investigation into the alleged misappropriation of sukuk funds meant for a Klang Valley highway project. MACC Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said the statement was recorded yesterday and concluded at 3pm. Another session is scheduled for today. Due to health reasons, the questioning took place at the Tan Sri's house in the Klang Valley. To date, MACC has interviewed 52 witnesses, including the Tan Sri and his family members. A separate raid was also conducted at his residence in Melaka, although no items were seized. The investigation centres on the suspected misappropriation of sukuk bonds issued to finance the construction of the highway. On June 3, MACC seized a luxury condominium, a plot of land valued at RM24.5mil, and nine vehicles worth RM7.65mil. Authorities also froze 14 personal bank accounts with RM4.5mil and eight company accounts holding RM33mil. In addition, anti-graft officers seized luxury watches worth approximately RM25mil, handbags valued at RM3mil, jewellery and diamonds worth RM6mil, four horses estimated at RM400,000, and premium alcoholic beverages valued at RM3mil. Azam previously disclosed that between 2016 and 2020, investigations revealed misconduct involving RM1.35bil in approved sukuk funds. This included false claims totalling RM360mil, RM416mil, and RM50mil through other bank facilities. 'The RM1.67bil highway project also failed to meet its completion schedule. Investigations are now focused on RM12bil in alleged bribes paid to certain parties as an inducement to facilitate the movement of funds out – and back – to the suspect,' Azam said in a June 3 statement, adding that the funds are also believed to have been used for money laundering activities. — Bernama

Civil servant loses RM13,000 to scammers
KOTA KINABALU: A civil servant lost RM13,000 in savings after he was believed to have been scammed by imposters. The victim, who is in his 30s, was said to have received a call from someone claiming to be an official from the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and later, a policeman for spreading fake news on investments, job offers and gambling. Ranau OCPD Supt Mursalin Mahmud said the victim allegedly got the calls on May 27, first from someone claiming to be an MCMC officer. 'The caller claimed that his (victim) phone number was involved in the dissemination of fake messages, and then the call was allegedly reconnected to another individual who claimed to be a policeman from the Perak police headquarters,' he said. After speaking for quite some time, the man was ordered to transfer RM13,000 to a bank account belonging to one Muhammad Azlan, for 'account protection', he said. Supt Mursalin said the victim was also instructed to update photos and personal details every three hours to the 'cop' as a way of reporting himself to the police. 'Later, the victim realised that he had been cheated and lodged a report at the Ranau police station on Tuesday night,' he said. Supt Mursalin said this case is now being probed under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating. He urged the public to keep calm and think rationally when receiving such calls from unknown persons or numbers to avoid getting scammed. He also warned against revealing any personal, banking or identification information through the phone, and to not carry out any monetary transactions online or via telephone. 'Always call back the police station or agencies allegedly involved on their official land-lines to verify any calls or matters,' said Supt Mursalin.
