'Come back': MACC chief doesn't want to hear excuses from wanted pair

MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki has reiterated his call to Perikatan Nasional chairperson Muhyiddin Yassin’s son-in-law and a company director to stop giving excuses.

“I am firm in my stand. Come back and face investigations, don’t give many excuses. I don’t want to listen (to excuses).

“Perhaps some might not like what I say, but this is me. So for the two of you, come back and don’t give excuses,” he was quoted as saying by Bernama.

Azam (above) was responding to Mansoor Saat who claimed to be a victim of persecution.

Threatening to sue MACC for abuse of power and malfeasance, Mansoor, who is a lawyer, described himself as “collateral damage” because of his business ties with Muhyiddin’s son-in-law, Muhammad Adlan Berhan.

Adlan, who is married to Muhyiddin’s second child, Nabilah, is abroad and also being sought to facilitate investigations.

Previously, Adlan’s lawyer Baljit Singh Sidhu said his client was prepared to return if “threats and persecution” against him are removed.

Baljit said his client was on a business trip abroad and did not flee the country after discovering that he was on MACC’s wanted list.

At the time, Azam told Malaysiakini that Adlan should return and stop giving excuses.

On Aug 7, MACC issued a statement that it was on the hunt for Adlan, 48, and Mansoor, 69.

The two are being sought in connection with investigations into a project regarding the registration and storage of biometric information for foreign workers. - Mkini
