The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is tracking down two individuals to assist in investigating a corruption and embezzlement case. The case is concerning the registration, recruitment, and biometric storage of foreign workers in a ministry.
In the press release, the MACC revealed the names of the two men, Muhammad Adlan bin Berhan and Mansoor bin Saat, with the former being the son-in-law of former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin. The MACC added that they have tried to contact the two individuals and their lawyers, but all parties have refused to cooperate.
Along with the details of the two men’s last address, MACC also revealed that Adlan and Mansoor fled the country in May with no record of reentry. Back in February, it was reported that Muhyiddin and Adlan were under investigation by the MACC about a lucrative government contract. The former prime minister denied any involvement and described the report as a malicious lie.
Muhyiddin has yet to comment on the press release, however, Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil has spoken about the news while at an event, saying that Muhyiddin should come forward to assist the agency over his son-in-law’s whereabouts. The minister added that Adlan Berhan would not have gone missing if he did not commit any wrongdoing.
Anyone with information about the individuals involved can contact the investigating officer at 603-88700799 or email at amin.jamaluddin@sprm.gov.my.
