I was not asked to assess RM1mil received by Shahrir, says LHDN officer

KUALA LUMPUR: An officer of the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) told the High Court here that an investigating officer of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) did not ask him to make an assessment to determine whether a sum of RM1mil allegedly received by Tan Sri Shahrir Ab Samad was regarded as income or not.

Deputy head of the Celebrity, Public and Various Entertainers Desk Audit Unit, LHDN Assessment Division, Tuan Zulkfli Tuan Lah, 48, said the investigating officer also did not furnish any documents relating to the receipt of the RM1mil, but merely told him that Shahrir received the money.
