Anwar orders probe into Khazanah-linked company


KLANG: A company under Khazanah Nasional is being investigated following concerns over its governance, with Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim saying no one should be above scrutiny.

The Prime Minister and Khazanah chairman said the matter was raised during a meeting and the board decided to investigate to ensure any governance issues are addressed.

"There is apparently a company set up in 2012 which has questions raised over its governance…. if there are violations, investigate," he said when officiating the Himpunan Anak Muda Kebangsaan Antarabangsa 2026 here on Thursday (Aug 20).

He said the investigation was not to target anyone over past decisions but about addressing any consequences that could still affect the country today.

He cited Tabung Haji and Felda as examples of institutions that suffered significant financial losses, saying the effects of poor management could continue to burden the country years after decisions were made.

"This is not about politics. This is about morality, values and the future of the nation," he said.

Anwar said he would continue to push for stronger governance even if issues involve decisions of past administrations or people he knew personally.

He said investigations should be allowed to proceed through the proper channels and the relevant authorities and courts should determine any prosecution or punishment.
