Why was the former CEO absent from the MACC statement recording?

Question

Accepted Answer

The former CEO was absent from the MACC statement recording due to health reasons.

The former chief executive officer (CEO) of a statutory body-owned company was not present for a statement recording with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) on August 5 due to health issues. This absence occurred while the former chief financial officer (CFO) of the same company spent over six hours providing a statement to the MACC. The investigation is related to findings from the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) Report on Tabung Haji.
Statement Recording Details

The statement recording session for the former CFO took place at the MACC Headquarters in Putrajaya, commencing around 10:30 am and concluding at approximately 5 pm. MACC Chief Commissioner Datuk Seri Abd Halim Aman confirmed that this was the second day of statement recording for the individual, who had been released the previous day. The MACC indicated that statement recording for this individual would continue the following day at 10 am.
Arrests in Connection with the Case

The MACC had arrested both the former CEO and CFO of the statutory body-owned company on the evening of August 4. These arrests are in connection with suspicions of abuse of power during the process of purchasing shares in two plantation companies. The total value of these share purchases was reported to be RM370 million.
Investigation Focus

The ongoing investigation aims to address findings detailed within the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) Report on Tabung Haji. The MACC's actions, including the statement recordings and arrests, are part of a broader effort to scrutinise alleged irregularities in the company's financial dealings, particularly concerning the RM370 million share transactions.
