The Malaysian-Anti Corruption Commission (MACC) will investigate allegations that Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali stashed RM300 million abroad.
MACC chief commissioner said the anti-graft busters will look into all the reports received and act on it professionally.
“My statement is in response to media’s query on (Datuk) Lokman Noor Adam’s (Umno Supreme Council member) MACC report against a cabinet minister,“ she said in a statement today.
Lokman had lodged the MACC report based on bank documents that have been circulated online.
The investigation followed Lokman’s recent report that alleged there was a suspicious transaction between a certain construction company and a certain minister’s private bank account, referring to Azmin.
Lokman also alleged that there is an offshore account which was set up in 2012 with Azmin as its ultimate beneficiary.
The documents purportedly showed money paid by a government-linked company to the minister’s purported overseas bank account in 2017, prior to him joining the government.

Azmin to sue blogger ‘Toyol Selangor’ over RM300m overseas stash claim
Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali has initiated legal action against a blogger whom he claimed to have defamed him by claiming he amassed RM300 million that is being kept in bank accounts abroad.
In a statement, his press secretary Mohamad Hassanal Bolqiah said Azmin is filing the lawsuit against the owner of a blog called “Toyol Selangor” over allegations said to threaten the ministry’s authority and integrity.
Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin has asked his legal team to file an application to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to identify the owner of the blog for next course of action,” Hassanal said.
He added that Azmin is disappointed by the remarks which he sees as an attempt to sully his reputation.
Malay Mail’s check on “Toyol Selangor” website today showed it has been archived or suspended in accordance to the website’s terms of service.
No further details were given on of the suspension.
A June 18 post on the blog claimed that Azmin and his wife, Datin Shamsidar Taharin, kept hundreds of millions of ringgit in several bank accounts overseas.
The blog had allegedly listed the numbers of the accounts said to be owned by Azmin.
