The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission is working to arrange an interview with the former chairman of Felda, who is currently serving time in prison, according to MACC chief Abd Halim Aman.
Abd Halim told reporters that the agency is liaising with the prisons department to facilitate the questioning, which forms part of the commission's ongoing investigation. The MACC chief did not specify the nature of the allegations or the timeline for the interview.
The move marks the latest development in what has been an increasingly scrutinised period for the federal land development authority, which has faced multiple corruption-related investigations in recent years. The former chairman's imprisonment underscores the scale of concerns surrounding governance at the institution.
As Malaysia intensifies its fight against white-collar crime, the MACC's pursuit of the interview demonstrates the agency's commitment to pursuing leads regardless of the suspect's current status or location.
