NINE individuals, including two from the top management of IJM Corporation Bhd. (IJM) were summoned to give statements at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters in Putrajaya today to assist in investigations into an alleged money laundering scheme amounting to RM2.5 billion.

It is understood that the individuals summoned include a top management staff with the title of Tan Sri and a company advisor.

MACC Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said they were present to give statements at 10 am this morning, and no arrests were made.

“We are currently investigating several allegations involving the corporate sector, but it is too early to comment.

“If there is a case, we will continue the investigation further. If there is no case, it will be referred to the Deputy Public Prosecutor,” he said.

Azam asked all parties not to make any speculation or negative perceptions regarding the investigation into the case since many people have made allegations, especially on blogs, some of which are inaccurate.

Yesterday, the media reported that MACC is focusing on allegations involving IJM regarding an alleged money laundering scheme amounting to RM2.5 billion. – January 20, 2026
