Key Figures in the Public Mutual Berhad Unit Trust Investment Case

Datin Seri Zizie Izette Abdul Samad, Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin, Madhi Abdul Hamid, and Norhaili Ahmad Mokhtar were the principal individuals implicated in the Public Mutual Berhad unit trust investment case. Zizie Izette faced accusations of abetting Bung Moktar, who held the position of Felcra Berhad’s non-executive chairman at the time. Madhi Abdul Hamid and Norhaili Ahmad Mokhtar were identified as Public Mutual Berhad investment agents central to the alleged bribery transactions.
Zizie Izette Abdul Samad's Role and Acquittal

Actress Datin Seri Zizie Izette Abdul Samad was acquitted of three charges related to abetting corruption, involving a sum of RM2.8 million. These charges were linked to a substantial RM150 million investment in Public Mutual Berhad unit trusts. The Sessions Court judge ruled that the defence had successfully established reasonable doubt regarding all charges.
Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin's Alleged Involvement

Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin, formerly the non-executive chairman of Felcra Berhad, was accused of receiving alleged cash bribes totalling RM2.2 million from Madhi Abdul Hamid. This alleged 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. Bung Moktar himself had previously been acquitted of the same charges following the prosecution's decision not to proceed after his passing.
Public Mutual Berhad Investment Agents

Madhi Abdul Hamid and Norhaili Ahmad Mokhtar were named as Public Mutual Berhad investment agents. Madhi Abdul Hamid was alleged to have given cash bribes amounting to RM2.2 million to Bung Moktar. Norhaili Ahmad Mokhtar was also implicated, with Zizie Izette facing a third charge of abetting Bung Moktar in receiving RM337,500 from her through a Public Ittikal Sequel Fund (PITSEQ) account registered under Zizie Izette's name.
