Muhyiddin refuses to comment on son-in-law's status wanted by MACC

SHAH ALAM - Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has refused to comment on the status of his son-in-law Datuk Muhammad Adlan Berhan, who is wanted by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) for his alleged involvement in a corruption case involving a foreign worker project.

Muhyiddin, who is also the former prime minister refused to answer questions from reporters about Muhammad Adlan when met here earlier today.

"No comment," he said.

The media reported yesterday that the MACC was tracking down two local men, including Muhammad Adlan, 48, who is a businessman, to assist in its investigation of a malpractice case involving a project to register, recruit, and biometric storage of foreign workers for a ministry.

MACC said in a statement that it had attempted to contact the two men, including lawyer Mansoor Saat, 69, directly through their lawyers, but both had refused to cooperate.

Record checks by the MACC found that both men had left Malaysia on May 17 and May 21, respectively.

There are currently no records of them returning to Malaysia.

The MACC said it was continuing its investigation into the case and would take the necessary action against anyone found to be involved in any wrongdoing.
