PETALING JAYA— Federal Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) director Commissioner Datuk Seri Amar Singh Ishar Singh is having a bit of a moment on social media.
Amar led the raids at the Pavilion Residences condominiums and house in Taman Duta owned by former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak that saw the seizure of hundreds of high-end handbags, cash in various currencies, gold, jewellery and luxury watches.
Social media users are now bestowing Amar with the title “Singh is King”, a play on the 2008 Indian action comedy Singh is Kinng which starred Akshay Kumar.

The “cash is king” expression is a reference to Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad saying that Najib told him in 2015 that “cash is king.”
The raids are part of the investigations into scandal-plagued state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad.
What’s inside Najib’s 20-year-old safe: More cash in foreign currency and marriage cert to Rosmah
KUALA LUMPUR — A steel safety box in the private residence of Datuk Seri Najib Razak in Taman Duta, here managed to be opened and its contents found to be small amount of old notes in foreign currency.
A spokesman of Najib, in a statement late last night, said it also contained several documents including the marriage certificate of the former prime minister and Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor.
“It is a steel safety box that is over 20 years old and was forcibly opened by locksmiths as the key has gone missing,” he said.
The spokesman said the steel safety box at the Seri Perdana official residence in Putrajaya was, however, part of the house.
“There should not have been any problem opening it,” said the statement.
Prior to this, the police had reportedly encountered difficulties in opening the steel safety box at Najib’s private residence at Taman Duta after it was said that the key had long been lost.
The search at the former prime minister’s private residence as well as five other locations is part of the investigation into the alleged laundering of the strategic development company, 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB)’s funds. — Bernama
