KUALA LUMPUR: Toh Puan Naimah Khalid, the wife of former finance minister Tun Daim Zainuddin says the Malaysian Anti-Corruption (MACC) is insisting for her to be charged tomorrow despite her husband still being hospitalised.
In a statement, she said, a team of MACC officers suddenly arrived at the hospital where her husband is warded demanding to record her statement despite having already taken her statement earlier on Jan 10.
She said she had asked for the charge to be done on Wednesday, the day after Daim completes his medical procedure on Tuesday, but this was refused.
"Today a team of MACC officers suddenly arrived at the hospital where my husband is being warded, demanding to record my statement, having already taken my statement earlier on Jan 10.
"This was despite the fact I assured them that I would give them my statement as soon as my husband's medical procedure is over on Tuesday.
"I was then told that I was to be charged on Tuesday at 9am which is tomorrow under section 36(2) MACC 2009 for purportedly failing to comply with a notice asking to disclose information on assets
"I will be in court tomorrow. I will fight this charge," she said.
Naimah is set to be charged in the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court tomorrow. - NST
