Question

Accepted Answer

Initial Freezing and Seizure Orders Issued Under Specific AMLA Sections

The initial freezing and seizure orders concerning Rohas Tecnic Bhd and its subsidiaries were issued under Sections 44(1) and 50(1) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing, Anti-Restricted Activity Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (AMLA). These orders were confirmed by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) on October 17, 2025, impacting certain bank accounts held by Rohas Tecnic, HG Power Transmission Sdn Bhd (HPGT), and Rohas-Euco Industries Bhd (REI).
MACC Confirms Conclusion of Investigation

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has formally communicated to HG Power Transmission Sdn Bhd (HPGT), a subsidiary of Rohas Tecnic Bhd, that its investigation has concluded. This confirmation signifies that no further legal actions will be pursued against the company or its officers in relation to the matter. The MACC's decision brings a definitive close to the investigation, providing clarity for HPGT and its stakeholders.
Specific AMLA Provisions Invoked

The investigation was initiated following the issuance of freezing and seizure orders by the MACC on October 17, 2025. These orders were enacted under specific provisions of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing, Anti-Restricted Activity Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001. Specifically, Sections 44(1) and 50(1) of AMLA were cited as the legal basis for these actions against the bank accounts in question.
Revocation of Seizure and Freezing Orders

Subsequent to the initial orders, a process of revocation was undertaken. On November 26, 2025, Rohas Tecnic and HPGT received official notice of the revocation of these orders, as issued by a deputy public prosecutor under Section 50(1) of AMLA. This followed a similar revocation order issued to Rohas-Euco Industries Bhd by the MACC under Section 44A of the same Act. More recently, on June 26, the MACC officially revoked the seizure orders previously made under Section 50(1) of AMLA pertaining to HPGT's bank accounts.
