KUALA LUMPUR: Three of the four children of the late Tun Daim Zainuddin, who are being sought by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to assist in an investigation, are currently overseas, says Immigration director-general Datuk Zakaria Shaaban.
He said Immigration Department records showed that the three left Malaysia at the end of January and in early February.
However, he said one of the four children who had previously been recorded as having travelled abroad has since returned to the country.
“Yes, I can confirm that they have left Malaysia, except for one who currently has no record of leaving the country,” he said when contacted on Saturday (Feb 28).
Zakaria said the department would provide the necessary information to the MACC based on its records, adding that the current locations of the individuals could not be disclosed as investigations were ongoing.
On Friday (Feb 27), the MACC said it was seeking to locate four children of the former finance minister to assist in an investigation under Section 36(1)(b) of the MACC Act 2009.
In a statement, the commission named the individuals as Asnida Abdul Daim, whose last known address was in Country Heights, Kajang, Selangor; Md Wira Dani Abdul Daim, last known to reside in Taman Melawati, Ulu Klang; and Muhammed Amir Zainuddin and Muhammed Amin Zainuddin, both of whom had last known addresses in Bukit Tunku, Kuala Lumpur.
The MACC urged anyone with information on the whereabouts of the individuals to contact investigating officer Mohamad Daeem Mohd Ali at 017-912 7217 or via email at mohamad.daeem@sprm.gov.my.
Information can also be channelled to Ahmad Aiman Ramly (011-6193 0814; ahmad.aiman@sprm.gov.my), Muhamad Ridhwan Mat Hussain (019-989 5174; ridhwan.hussain@sprm.gov.my) or Hardiansyah Ismail (013-563 9147; hardiansyah@sprm.gov.my) to assist in the investigation.
