PUTRAJAYA: Tun Daim Zainuddin’s wife Toh Puan Naimah Khalid, and two sons will be summoned to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters on Wednesday.
Lawyer Rajesh Nagarajan confirmed the matter, stating that they will be at the MACC headquarters at around 10.15am.
Additionally, a press conference will be held outside the MACC headquarters around the same time on Wednesday.
The MACC seized Daim’s Ilham Tower as part of its investigations. The MACC stated that investigations against the former finance minister are based on the existing law and information from the Pandora Papers.
“In the case of Daim, the MACC opened an investigation paper in February 2023 based on information from the Pandora Papers,” said the MACC in a statement on Dec 30.
The anti-graft body explained that a notice was issued on June 7, under Section 36(1)(a) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009, which was sent to Daim.
Following the seizure of the tower, Daim criticized the MACC investigations on him and his family, claiming it is a political witch-hunt due to the “animus” of the Prime Minister.
