Notes

The false statements were related to his career as a businessman, his income, luxury vehicles, RM1.2 million bungalow in Kampung Melayu, Ampang which was bought in cash, RM200,000 loan from his mother-in-law and late grandmother, and RM500,000 loan from an “Ah Long”.

On the other four charges, he allegedly used two fake loan agreement documents from two individuals and two cash vouchers from his company, Gegas Mentari Holding Sdn Bhd, to mislead the MACC investigating officers, an offence under Section 89 of the same Act.

He allegedly committed the offences at the MACC headquarters at the Federal Government Administrative Centre, Putrajaya, between 9 am and 12.15 pm on Feb 10, 2017 and between 9 am and 2 pm on Feb 22, the same year.
