    Corporate mafia- Rafizi warns against targeting one person; Tamim says will surrender if..

    KiniNews is now also available on Spotify and Apple podcasts.[KiniNews] Rafizi Ramli has warned that the government could be hit with another series of "explosive leaks” if it only targets businessperson Victor Chin over the “corporate mafia” allegations.The Pandan MP said he believed Chin probably keeps records and proof of all transactions he made in the course of his business, just like businessperson Albert Tei did in the Sabah mining corruption scandal."So, I would like to advise those in Putrajaya, those in the close circles of (Prime Minister) Anwar Ibrahim, Bukit Aman, and MACC: you should be careful," he said.Meanwhile, in a separate story, self-proclaimed activist Tamim Dahri Abdul Razak, who is being sought by authorities over the desecration of a sacred Hindu symbol, has agreed to surrender but on one condition.Tamim said he would return to the country and turn himself in to the police if authorities demolish a list of allegedly "illegal" Hindu temples.___________________Support independent media, subscribe to Malaysiakini.com - https://membership.malaysiakini.com/membership/start?internal_source=kinitv

    Muhyiddin’s ‘lesson’ backfired, says Hamzah; DAP MPs slam Kula’s appearance with Arun

    KiniNews is now also available on Spotify and Apple podcasts.[KiniNews] Larut MP Hamzah Zainudin has openly linked his expulsion from Bersatu to party president Muhyiddin Yassin, claiming that the latter may have intended the move to “teach him a lesson”, but ended up with the opposite result.“Perhaps my expulsion was something that people would say was meant to ‘teach Larut a lesson’, but he was mistaken - it turns out it’s not easy to teach Larut a lesson. And it ended up backfiring on him - ‘now it’s your turn to learn a lesson’,” he said.Meanwhile, in a separate story several DAP leaders have slammed fellow party member, Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform) M Kulasegaran, for his appearance alongside activist Arun Dorasamy at the Jawi Magistrate’s Court in Penang yesterday.Bangi MP Syahredzan Johan, Bentong MP Young Syefura Othman, Bukit Bendera MP Syerleena Abdul Rashid, and central executive committee member Sheikh Umar Bagharib Ali said that while they respected Kulasegaran’s position as a party veteran, his action is inadmissible, especially given his capacity in the government.“The said action has sparked public controversy regarding the integrity of the country’s legal syste," they said.___________________Support independent media, subscribe to Malaysiakini.com - https://membership.malaysiakini.com/membership/start?internal_source=kinitv

    Zamri claims trial for public mischief; 'Corporate mafia' - Businessperson questions raid

    KiniNews is now also available on Spotify and Apple podcasts.[KiniNews] Independent preacher Zamri Vinoth pleaded not guilty at the Kuala Lumpur Magistrates' Court this morning, to a charge under Section 505(b) of the Penal Code, which criminalises statements made with the intent to cause, or which may cause, disturbance to the public.He was accused of committing the offence through a Facebook post on February 3 about a gathering involving “illegal temples,” which was reported by a complainant in Kuala Lumpur.Meanwhile, in a separate story, Businessperson Victor Chin - who is accused of being an alleged member of the so-called "corporate mafia" - has questioned why authorities raided his home last week.Chin said he had been cooperating with police in investigations since December, and had even been remanded for three days as part of a probe into the “corporate mafia” and alleged money laundering.He added that he will be submitting all evidence and supporting documents proving that he is not involved in the “corporate mafia” to his lawyers.___________________Support independent media, subscribe to Malaysiakini.com - https://membership.malaysiakini.com/membership/start?internal_source=kinitv

    Khairy applies to rejoin Umno; 'Corporate mafia' - Victor Chin wants RCI to probe MACC

    KiniNews is now also available on Spotify and Apple podcasts.[KiniNews] Khairy Jamaluddin has submitted an appeal to rejoin Umno, three years after the party expelled the former minister.The application was submitted last night to Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who had axed Khairy amid an attempt to challenge him for control of the party in early 2023.Zahid said Khairy’s appeal exemplified the “Rumah Bangsa” initiative, which sought to form a big umbrella for Malay-Muslim politicians.Meanwhile, in a separate story, businessperson Victor Chin said any investigations into alleged corporate intimidation should include the “roles and conduct” of the MACC and police.Chin, who is being probed for alleged involvement in a so-called “corporate mafia”, told Bloomberg that he supports the calls for a royal commission of inquiry (RCI), but stressed that any investigation must not focus on the corporate mafia allegations alone, but include enforcement agencies.MACC has previously issued a firm denial regarding the claims, dismissing them as baseless while alleging they are part of a smear campaign intended to undermine the agency’s reputation.___________________Support independent media, subscribe to Malaysiakini.com - https://membership.malaysiakini.com/membership/start?internal_source=kinitv

    Tei shows photos of alleged armed MACC officers; DAP to follow up on ‘corporate mafia’

    KiniNews is now also available on Spotify and Apple podcasts.[KiniNews] Businessperson Albert Tei, who exposed the Sabah mining scandal, today released to the media two images purportedly showing “armed” MACC officers at his residence during his arrest last November.The images, which are identical, showed what looked like two individuals in tactical gear and balaclavas standing on a staircase, with one of them appearing to be holding something in his hands.Tei believes the images reaffirm his claim that balaclava-clad MACC officers pointed pistols at him, his wife, mother-in-law, and the family’s domestic helper during his arrest on Nov 28.Malaysiakini has reached out to MACC for comments.Meanwhile, in a separate story, DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke said although the party was unable to persuade the cabinet to establish a royal commission of inquiry (RCI), the authorities have nevertheless expanded investigations into the alleged “corporate mafia”.He stressed that since investigations are underway, there must eventually be an outcome, and DAP will continue to follow up on the matter.___________________Support independent media, subscribe to Malaysiakini.com - https://membership.malaysiakini.com/membership/start?internal_source=kinitv

    MPs red flag MACC probing itself on 'corporate mafia'; Na'imah's lawyer questioned

    KiniNews is now also available on Spotify and Apple podcasts.[KiniNews] Three lawmakers from both sides of the aisle have raised concerns that the MACC is involved in the multi-agency probe that the cabinet had ordered into the "corporate mafia" claims.They also opined that the multi-agency probe in itself is insufficient and should instead be part of an investigation led by a royal commission of inquiry (RCI).Yesterday, Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil said the cabinet had ordered the police, Inland Revenue Board (IRB), MACC and Securities Commission (SC), among others, to investigate the "corporate mafia" claims and look into loopholes that allow for "corporate manipulation".Meanwhile, in a separate story, Lawyer Nizamuddin Hamid, who is representing Na’imah Abdul Khalid, was called in for questioning at Bukit Aman today.He had his statement recorded to assist in investigations into allegations of a plot to overthrow the government and undermine national stability, reportedly involving a local influential figure and an international media agency.___________________Support independent media, subscribe to Malaysiakini.com - https://membership.malaysiakini.com/membership/start?internal_source=kinitv ---[AD[ Spread the Rezeki this Raya with over RM2,000,000* in rewards from Tropicana! ✨Get a Samsung Music Frame, 100% Legal Fees covered & more* when you purchase selected properties.👇 Click for full info🔗 https://bit.ly/raya26-mkvideo📆 1 Mar – 18 Apr 2026*T&Cs apply.

    Use of edited video not Azam’s decision - Prosecutor; Govt starts austerity measures

    KiniNews is now also available on Spotify and Apple podcasts.[KiniNews] The lead prosecutor in Muhyiddin Yassin’s corruption trial has defended the use of edited videos in his case against the Bersatu president amid criticism levelled against perceived double standards by the MACC.This is after the Center to Combat Corruption and Cronyism (C4 Center) yesterday urged MACC to clarify its position on using edited videos as evidence in investigations into the former premier.Newly appointed deputy head II of the Attorney-General’s Chambers Trial and Appeal division, Wan Shaharuddin Wan Ladin, said it was his decision to use edited videos in the trial, and not Azam's.Meanwhile, in a separate story, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced austerity measures for the government amid skyrocketing oil prices due to the intensifying conflict in the Middle East.While assuring that Putrajaya will maintain the Budi95 fuel subsidy for Malaysians, Anwar said foreign travel for ministers and all government departments will be limited, except for those that have already been scheduled and are compulsory to attend.Ministries, agencies and government-linked companies (GLCs) will also not be hosting Hari Raya Aidilfitri open house celebrations this year.___________________Support independent media, subscribe to Malaysiakini.com - https://membership.malaysiakini.com/membership/start?internal_source=kinitv

    'RCI on MACC must be established whether Azam retires or not'; Hamzah says no to Umno

    KiniNews is now also available on Spotify and Apple podcasts.[KiniNews] Critics pushing for MACC reform remain unmoved by speculation that Putrajaya might not extend the service of its scandal-tainted chief, Azam Baki, after his term expires on May 12.Instead, their calls for establishing a royal commission of inquiry (RCI) to investigate recent damning allegations against the anti-graft agency have only grown louder.Bersih stressed that an RCI is crucial to address all issues plaguing MACC.Meanwhile, in a separate story, sacked Bersatu deputy president Hamzah Zainudin has indicated that he will proceed with plans to be a part of a new political entity, rather than accept an invitation to return to Umno.“There is no need to join (Umno),” said Hamzah when quizzed on Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s remarks that all former members are welcome to rejoin the party under his “Rumah Bangsa” vision.___________________Support independent media, subscribe to Malaysiakini.com - https://membership.malaysiakini.com/membership/start?internal_source=kinitv
