PETALING JAYA:

 The widow of the late former finance minister Daim Zainuddin will challenge the seizure of Ilham Tower in court.

In a statement, Rajesh Nagarajan and Sachpreetraj Singh Sohanpal, who are acting on behalf of Naimah Khalid, said the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (MACC) repeated seizure of the Kuala Lumpur city centre landmark was “pure harassment”.

“This is vindictive, unlawful, and a blatant abuse of power by MACC. This is contrary to the rule of law; it is the law of the jungle,” they said.

This is the anti-graft agency’s second time seizing the tower on Jalan Binjai after making a similar move on Dec 21, 2023. - FMT
