Syed Saddiq said this was the fourth time they had been called up by MACC, adding that they would cooperate fully with the investigations
“Some people have made up stories, saying my mum and dad do not work and accusing them of nonsense
“The students whom my mum taught for the past 38 years can be witnesses to how dedicated a teacher she has been,” he said in an Instagram post today
MACC recently seized RM600,000 in cash from the homes of two PPBM Youth members, saying the money was believed to have been misappropriated from the party
MACC investigations director Norazlan Mohd Razali said statements were recorded from the two men on June 5 during investigations into the disappearance of RM250,000 from Syed Saddiq’s house
Syed Saddiq was also ordered to declare his assets as part of the MACC probe, believed to be carried out under Section 17 (a) of the MACC Act related to gratification and bribery
MACC launched the investigation following a complaint related to the loss of the cash
Syed Saddiq lodged a police report on March 29, saying the money had been kept in a safe box at his house
He also said only a few people knew the combination code for the safe, which he last opened on March 13 or 14
He has refused to respond to speculation on the incident, including media reports that the money belonged to PPBM. - FMT
