Zizie Izette Faces Three Charges for Allegedly Aiding Husband in Corruption Case

Datin Seri Zizie Izette Abdul Samad is facing three charges related to abetting her late husband, Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin, in obtaining RM2.8 million in cash bribes. These alleged bribes were connected to a RM150 million investment by Felcra Berhad in Public Mutual Berhad unit trusts. The alleged offences occurred at the Public Bank Berhad Taman Melawati branch on June 12 and June 19, 2015.
Abetting in Obtaining RM2.2 Million Bribe

Under the first charge, Zizie Izette is accused of abetting Bung Moktar, who was then the non-executive chairman of Felcra Berhad, in receiving a RM2.2 million cash bribe from Public Mutual Berhad investment agent Madhi Abdul Hamid. This sum was allegedly an inducement for Bung Moktar to secure the approval of the then Finance Minister II for Felcra Berhad to proceed with the RM150 million investment in Public Mutual Berhad unit trust products.
Aiding in Obtaining RM262,500 Bribe

The second charge against Zizie Izette alleges she abetted her husband in obtaining RM262,500 from Madhi Abdul Hamid. This amount was reportedly channelled through a Public Islamic Treasures Growth Fund (PITGF) account that was registered in her name. The purpose of this transaction is stated to be in connection with the same RM150 million investment by Felcra Berhad.
Assisting in Obtaining RM337,500 Bribe

For the third charge, Zizie Izette is accused of abetting Bung Moktar in obtaining RM337,500 from another Public Mutual Berhad investment agent, Norhaili Ahmad Mokhtar. This sum was allegedly received through a Public Ittikal Sequel Fund (PITSEQ) account, also registered under her name. Similar to the other charges, this is linked to facilitating Felcra Berhad's RM150 million investment in Public Mutual Berhad unit trusts.
Legal Framework and Penalties

The charges brought against Zizie Izette are framed under Section 28(1)(c) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act 2009. Conviction under this section carries a potential penalty of up to 20 years in prison and a fine equivalent to five times the value of the gratification received or RM10,000, whichever is higher. The prosecution in this case is being handled by Deputy Public Prosecutors Law Chin How and Mohammad Fadhly Mohd Zamry.
