AS MACC CHIEF EXPOSES ‘KING OF CASH’ MP, WHO IS ALSO KNOWN AS ‘PAU KAU TIM’ (SURE DONE DEAL), HIS OFFICERS RAID THE 3 HOMES OF NAJIB CRONY ABDUL AZEEZ, SEIZE RM500K CASH & JEWELLERY

GEORGE TOWN: Another nickname of the ‘Cash King MP’ is “pau kau tim”, Cantonese for “guaranteed to settle”, sources revealed.

In a full transcript which was made available Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Datuk Seri Mohd Shukri Abdull to the press on Tuesday (May 22) that there was an MP from the north who met with him twice to ask him to stop investigations on 1MDB and SRC International.

“I said I only wanted one thing and please don’t interfere with my investigation. Let me finish it and let the AG settle. He said ‘please Datuk, settle it.’ I told him that if he said that to me one more time, I will arrest him. This parliamentarian is known as King of Cash,” added Shukri.

Several sources said that those who knew the moniker will know who it was straightaway.

“He was not a minister, but he had top-level access to a large public fund.

“He won in the elections and is back in Parliament,” sources added.

He added that with the new MACC chief, “many people will be in hot water very soon”.

The anti-graft agency served Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak notice on Friday (May 18) to seek the former prime minister’s cooperation over investigations into SRC International Sdn Bhd, a former subsidiary of the controversial 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB).

MACC seized RM500k from me, not RM500mil, says Abdul Azeez

PETALING JAYA: Datuk Seri Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim has lauded the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) for their professionalism when they visited his residence in Subang.

The Umno Supreme Council member said the word “raided” was not really accurate as it was more of a visit to his house and Abdul Azeez even prayed together with the officers after breaking fast on Tuesday (May 22) evening.

Abdul Azeez also debunked the rumours circulating on social media that the MACC seized RM500mil from him.

“They only took RM500,000 and that was from my Baling Umno allocation and about seven pieces of my wife’s jewellery.

He added that the MACC also visited his house and office in Baling, Kedah. The MACC seized RM100,000 from his house in Baling and RM400,000 from his house in Subang.

Abdul Azeez, who is also Baling MP, said the money was meant for expenses for breaking fast events to be held in Baling and for quite a number of Umno meetings.

He said while he did not know what he was being investigated for, the MACC officers who went to his house told him that they were instructed them to visit and check his house.

“Whatever it is, I will extend my fullest cooperation. I am an MP. I won’t run away,” said Abdul Azeez.
