MACC confirms Daim Zainuddin’s four children will have their statements recorded on April 6 at the agency’s headquarters
PETALING JAYA: The four children of the late former Finance Minister Tun Daim Zainuddin are expected to appear before the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) on April 6 to have their statements recorded at the agency’s headquarters.
According to a Berita Harian report, MACC Special Operations Division senior director Zamri Zainul Abidin confirmed that the children’s lawyer had given assurances that all four would be present.
“MACC is giving all parties the opportunity to appear, and if any individual fails to do so, further action will be considered in accordance with existing laws,” he said.
The anti-graft agency had previously issued a public search notice to locate Daim’s four children — his daughter Asnida, and his three sons, Wira Dani, Amir, and Amin — after listing their last known addresses in an earlier statement. No further details on the scope of investigations were disclosed at the time.
Daim passed away at Assunta Hospital in Petaling Jaya on November 13, 2024, at the age of 86.
The MACC’s interest in the family predates his death. In 2024, the commission seized multiple bank accounts belonging to Daim’s widow, Toh Puan Naimah Khalid, and their four children. Eighteen companies linked to the family were also seized, including Ilham Tower Sdn Bhd and Selidik Jaya Sdn Bhd.
Naimah is currently standing trial on a charge of failing to comply with the terms of an asset declaration notice issued by MACC. Daim himself had faced the same charge, but it was dropped following his death.
