Datuk Seri Akbar Khan has been called up by Malaysia’s anti-graft agency in a widening probe into dealings involving former finance minister Daim Zainuddin.
“The businessman has also been ordered to declare his assets and the financial holdings of his family. I can confirm that more people are expected to be called for questioning in the near future in relation to this investigation,” he said. Mr Khan is the latest business personality called up in the MACC’s widening dragnet since Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahimbegan in May 2023. The anti-graft agency said it launched its investigations into the former finance minister based on information from the Pandora Papers. TheHe was charged on Jan 29 with failing to declare his assets under the country’s anti-corruption laws, while his wife was also handed the same charge on Jan 23.
