KUALA LUMPUR: Former finance minister Tun Daim Zainuddin has reserved comment on the charge of failing to declare his assets to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) but criticised the administration for not living up to its promises of reform.
Malaysia charged a former minister on Monday with failing to declare assets, the latest step in a corruption probe that’s targeting several people connected to a former prime minister. Former Finance Minister Daim Zainuddin, who left office more than 20 years ago, is a key ally of ex-Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamed.
