PUTRAJAYA, Sept 25 - The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) will issue notices to former human resources minister Datuk Seri Saravanan Murugan, his wife, and their three children to declare their assets within a month.
Its Chief Commissioner Datuk Seri Abd Halim Aman said the asset declaration notice under Section 36 of the MACC Act 2009 will be delivered on Monday (September 28) to Saravanan, his wife, and their two children, while another child who is still abroad will receive it in November.
"They have been informed and will attend the MACC headquarters for the delivery of the notices.
"A period of 30 days (for asset declaration) is given, and if that period is insufficient, an extension will be granted if they apply," he said during a media conference after the closing ceremony of the 5th National Level Research Conference on Governance, Integrity, and Anti-Corruption 2026 today.
Saravanan was previously charged in the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court with three counts of receiving bribes amounting to nearly RM1.09 million related to the approval of 1,000 foreign worker quotas for a company four years ago.
In another development, Halim said they have not yet received the asset declaration from Lembaga Tabung Haji's former chairman Datuk Seri Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim and his family.
"We just submitted the notices on September 15. Wait for a month," he said.
The MACC served asset declaration notices on Azeez and his family under Section 49 of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing, Anti-Restricted Activity Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.
