Transactions done in good faith, say companies

PETALING JAYA: Two of the companies named in the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (MACC) civil forfeiture suit say all transactions were done in good faith and they will cooperate with anti-graft investigators.

These were companies that allegedly received 1Malaysia Develop­ment Bhd (1MDB) funds from the personal bank account of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

“Habib Jewels Sdn Bhd would like to confirm that all of its transactions were (done) in good faith and supported by legitimate documentation. These include those that may be subject to investigations by the MACC.

“We would like to state that we have not been served any formal notice related to this matter.

“We would also like to hereby confirm that we have (cooperated) and will fully cooperate with all relevant authorities pertaining to this matter,” Habib Jewels said in a statement yesterday.

Naza Group also promised to give full cooperation to the MACC in the civil forfeiture action on transactions involving four Chevrolet cars.

“Naza Quest Auto Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Naza Group, was the sole distributor for Chevrolet cars under an agreement with General Motors (GM) which ceased distributing Chevrolet cars on Nov 14, 2018.

“The Naza Group will cooperate with the authorities to provide necessary assistance in relation to this matter,” said a Naza Group spokesperson in a statement.
