PUTRAJAYA: Former Economy Minister Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli said investigations into him have so far centred on procedural matters rather than financial transactions in relation to the RM1.1 billion investment linked to a semiconductor deal between the Ministry of Economy and a UK-based company, Arm Holdings.

Speaking to reporters outside the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Com­­mission (MACC) headquarters today, he said no questions during his statement recording touched on money flows or payments, contrary to earlier claims.

Rafizi arrived at the MACC headquarters at 1.50pm yesterday to continue giving his statement for the third day, assisting investigations into alleged abuse of power and misappropriation linked to the semiconductor deal.
