KUALA LUMPUR – Abdul Malik Dashtigeer, a businessman called in by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to assist investigations into alleged money laundering activities, has promised to continue providing his full cooperation.

In a video posted on his Instagram today, Malik, who is known as “Datuk Malik”, said he has given the anti-graft body “full disclosure” on the matter and vowed to assist with investigations.

“I was called by (MACC) for investigations, and there was full cooperation from my end regarding this case,” he said, adding that he is thankful for the outpouring of support from his contacts on social media.

“Let’s all pray for a smooth journey ahead. Let’s hope for the best. Justice will prevail, and until then, we’ll go on.”

On Tuesday, Scoop reported that three businessmen and 20 money changers were arrested by the MACC under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.

A source also said a former minister will be summoned by the anti-graft body for questioning, with investigations focusing on the possible involvement of figures from government agencies under the Human Resources Ministry. – July 28, 2023
