Govt withdraws suit against Azeez’s wife and kids

KUALA LUMPUR: The government has withdrawn its application to forfeit almost RM16mil from accounts belonging to the wife of former Tabung Haji chairman Datuk Seri Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim, Datin Seri Khadijah Mohd Noor, and their four children, as well as a shoplot owned by their company, Azeera Management Consultants (M) Sdn Bhd.
