In recent weeks, former finance minister Tun Daim Zainuddin's long-shrouded wealth has come under scrutiny after the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) launched its investigations into him and his family.
The application, filed at the high court here yesterday, named the anti-graft agency and the public prosecutor as respondents – while Daim, five of his family members including his wife Toh Puan Naimah Khalid, and Ilham Tower Sdn Bhd were listed as applicants.
Despite claims of political witch-hunts and selective persecution, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has seized and froze assets as part of its investigation process even during Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s short-lived second tenure as prime minister.
In light of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC)’s recent probe into tycoon and former finance minister Tun Daim Zainuddin, a police report lodged by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on July 30, 1999, against the former has made its rounds across social media platforms.
