Pro Pn Activists Question Why Macc Only Probing Daim Over Pandora Papers
A group of pro-Perikatan Nasional activists urged MACC to probe nine prominent individuals named in the Pandora Papers as owners of various offshore companies or trusts.
The Movement Demanding for a Clean Malaysia (GMMB) deputy chairperson Syarul Ema Rena Abu Samah, better known by her online moniker Ratu Naga, said questions of selective prosecution have arisen with the latest MACC probe that implicated former finance minister Daim Zainudin.
“The question is why the selective investigation against Daim? It is public knowledge that Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim views Daim as a political foe who was often critical of him,” she said in a statement after lodging a report at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya today.
"This (probe) has given rise to issues of institutional independence and integrity.
“Therefore, in the name of justice and equality, we urge MACC to also open investigations against the (other) named individuals,” added the former PKR member known for her TikTok live sessions with pro-PN cyber troopers.

Syarul Ema also cited MACC's statement on Dec 30 last year, stating that it had started to probe Daim in February, based on information from the Pandora Papers.
The Pandora Papers - an anonymous dump of 2.94 terabytes of confidential financial files to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) - was shared with partners including Malaysiakini in late 2021.
The dump is made up of more than 11.9 million documents and other records from 14 offshore service providers that set up and manage shell companies and trusts in tax havens around the globe. - Mkini
