Zizie Izette Was Accused of Abetting Her Husband, Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin

Datin Seri Zizie Izette Abdul Samad was acquitted of three charges of abetting her husband, Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin, in a corruption case involving RM2.8 million. These charges were connected to alleged bribes received by Bung Moktar, who was the non-executive chairman of Felcra Berhad at the time, in relation to an investment in Public Mutual Berhad unit trusts. The court found that the defence had successfully created reasonable doubt regarding the accusations.
Charges Linked to Felcra Berhad Investment

The alleged offences centred on Zizie Izette's role in abetting Bung Moktar in receiving bribes totaling RM2.2 million in cash from Public Mutual Berhad investment agent Madhi Abdul Hamid. This gratification was purportedly an inducement for Bung Moktar to secure approval from the then Finance Minister II for Felcra Berhad to invest RM150 million in Public Mutual Berhad unit trust products.
