The MACC has confirmed that the alleged misappropriation of zakat funds involving the Negeri Sembilan Islamic Religious Council (Mains) will be reviewed to study the evidence available.
MACC senior director of investigation Hishamuddin Hashim said the investigation paper had been referred back to the deputy public prosecutor and that instructions had been issued further investigate issues that had arisen.
“The MACC wishes to clarify that the case was opened and investigated in 2019, focusing on the issue of corruption and abuse of power,” he said in a statement today.
On Feb 9, Negeri Sembilan MACC director Awgkok Ahmad Taufik Putra Awg Ismail said that no elements of corruption were found concerning the alleged misappropriation of zakat funds involving the Mains Zakat Sdn Bhd under the MACC Act 2009.
Mains chairperson Abdul Aziz Syeikh Ab Kadir had also denied claims on social media that Negeri Sembilan zakat money has been misappropriated.
Previously, the allegations had gone viral on the Telegram application.
