MACC summons more people for questioning over FIC London hotel deal

KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 9): Another two persons have been summoned to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) HQ here today to have their statements recorded, the New Straits Times (NST) reported today.

The two women are assisting with the on-going prove into the purchase of a luxury hotel in Kensington, London by Felda Investment Corp (FIC) around 2013 to 2015.

They were Felda legal division director Helwani Lukman and another lawyer, believed to be the partner of the lawyer arrested by MACC last week, the NST reported.

Meanwhile, former FIC board member Datuk Nur Ehsanuddin Mohd Harun has been questioned again today by the anti-graft body at its HQ over the same London hotel deal, The Star reported.

He was among the three former FIC board members who were questioned by MACC yesterday.

NST also reported that Ehsanuddin and two former members on the FIC board of directors, Datuk Nik Azman Mohamed Zain and Datuk Dr Omar Salim, will be summoned again to MACC tomorrow for questioning.
The posh London hotel was allegedly purchased at a much higher price than the market price, causing FIC to lose millions of ringgit.
