MACC to resume questioning Isa Samad after eye surgery recovery

PUTRAJAYA — The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) will resume recording a statement from Datuk Isa Samad following his recovery from eye surgery, the anti-graft body confirmed on Wednesday. The move marks a pause in the agency's investigation into the former Federal Land Development Authority chairman, pending his medical recuperation. MACC officials indicated that questioning would recommence once Isa Samad has sufficiently recovered from the procedure. The former Felda leader has been under scrutiny as part of the commission's broader inquiry into the land agency's operations and governance matters. No timeline for the resumption of questioning has been disclosed by the MACC. The development comes amid heightened focus on accountability within major government-linked agencies, with the anti-corruption body stepping up its enforcement activities across multiple sectors. Isa Samad previously held significant positions within Malaysia's public administration and remains a prominent figure in the country's political landscape.
