Wheeled to court for money laundering charge, public shaming of ex-army chief’s 27 y.o. 3rd wife shows no abating
THE mocking of Salwani Anuar @ Kamaruddin, the 27-year-old third wife of former Army chief Tan Sri Hafizuddeain Jantan arriving on a wheelchair at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court recently to face the charge of ‘abetting’ her husband in a money laundering case has become ‘more ingenious’ to say the least
This came about after a self-proclaimed troubleshooter cheekily ‘imagined’ how the black hijab-clad young woman who had also worn a face mask would look like prior to her court case.
“Some people have to don the orange T-shirt (typical practice for corruption case) while some need not,” jibed Lina Irfan in a Facebook post. “This is what we call tatakertahi (mocking the Madani government’s infamous tatakelola a.k.a. governance). ”
Baju oren.. Ada org kena pakai ada org tak kena pakai..ini kita panggil.. Tatakertahi..

Recall that Salwani has recently pleaded not guilty to four money-laundering charges involving RM77,000 allegedly received through Wany Venture, a company she is said to control. She faces up to 15 years’ jail and a fine of up to RM5 mil if convicted.
Earlier, her husband and his two wives were also detained by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) over an investigation into an army procurement cartel.
In fact, Hafizuddeain, 58, had also pleaded not guilty at the KL Sessions Court to four counts of money laundering involving RM2.12 mil. He is accused of receiving the funds in four tranches between Feb 2, 2024, and Nov 7, 2025 at two banks in KL.
Editor’s Note: It has been revealed by her lawyer Fahmi Abd. Moin that Salwani from Kuala Besut, Terengganu, had make her court appearance in a wheelchair due to a chronic ‘bisul’ (boil) on her thigh following which she would undergo a surgical procedure “tomorrow (Jan 27) or the day after in Kuala Lumpur”.
In fact, she faced a second charge at the Kuala Terengganu Sessions Court today (Jan 26) with receiving proceeds from unlawful activities amounting to RM5,000 which was deposited into her bank account.
According to Bernama, the offence was allegedly committed at a bank branch in Kerteh near Besut on Jan 16, 2025.
The online mocking of Salwani became more intense after opposition-slant Naratif Rakyat (@NaratifRakyat) who is said to be linked to former Barisan Nasional (BN) deputy director of strategic communications Datuk Eric See-To re-posted the “Before Court Case” and “After Court Case” image by Lina Irfan with a potshot: “Wow, serious ka? Shameful.”
Wow serious ka? Shame
Pursuant to this, a commenter proposed what he termed as “Malaysia Corruption Charge Court Case Starter Pack” comprising wheelchair, tongkat (walking stick), dark glasses, face mash and the Toyota Vellfire executive MPV which can become handy if one faces corruption charges in court.
Another wondered if a 26-year-old (some media cited 27-year-old) had already mastered the deemed “wheelchair arc” level for court appearance, “wouldn’t oxygen tank” be her next level”?
One commenter was ticked off for his sweeping statement that Salwani’s hijab attire which makes her look angelic “is how the Malays use religion to get away from their crimes”.
“Not because of religion, you dumb … you have to wear proper attire that cover your body to present yourselves in court,” justified another commenter.
“In most cases, it’s easier to just don one single wear and tudung. Do you think she should wear the same style as the left one?”
While one commenter did sort of insinuate the pain and discomfort of suffering from “chronic boil”, many netizens are seemingly unfazed with Salwani’s condition but instead poked fun at her (as she is faking her physical condition).
Kasihanilah dia … dia ada bisul …
Cannot wear like that, nanti nampak bisul
One commenter lashed out at high-ranking military officers for high tendency of power abuse, hence proposed that the power that be” makes it mandatory for army chiefs to refrain from having more than one wife as well as to ensure that the spouse isn’t a pisau cukur (literally ‘razor blade’ but proverbial meaning is equivalent to ‘gold digger’)”. – Jan 26, 2026
