The MACC has detained a Perikatan Nasional MP over alleged corruption in a cattle farming joint venture owned by the state government.
According to a commission source, the investigation against Padang Serai MP Azman Nasrudin began in February this year and centred on allegations that he had received about RM400,000 in return for assistance in securing land-use rights for a feedlot project.
“An investigation paper was opened following a complaint received on Feb 10, 2025, and investigations were carried out, during which statements from 15 witnesses were recorded,” the source said.
MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki confirmed the arrest when contacted, and said that Azman’s statement was recorded under Section 53(3) of the MACC Act 2009 before he was released on bail.
Malaysiakini has contacted Azman for comment.
