NETIZENS are voicing scepticism over the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (MACC) investigation into the potential deception of Khazanah Nasional Bhd (Khazanah) and Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB) by the owners of FashionValet.
MACC recently widened its probe to explore whether Khazanah and PNB were misled in their investments in the eCommerce platform.
However, some members of the public find it unlikely that the couple behind FashionValet could deceive such prominent institutional investors.
Instead, they suggest that the investments may have involved mutual agreements or “golden handshake” deals rather than misleading information, sparking further debate on transparency in high-profile business dealings.
Yesterday (Nov 8), MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki was quoted as saying the scope of the investigation has been expanded to also consider the potential element of fraud.
He stated that this pertains to the discovery of several suspicious transactions between 2018 and 2023.
However, Azam mentioned that the investigation involving corporate governance issues is ongoing, and MACC needs to verify several pieces of information.
But the internet users are unforgiving.
Here are a few comments that reflect the sentiment: – Nov 9, 2024
Agak pelik para penganalisis dan pengurus pelaburan terulung negara boleh diperdaya oleh beberapa individu yang syarikat mereka alami kerugian lima tahun berturut-turut sebelum itu.

Dalam kes ni siapa jadi kambing hitam? Lol – masa kau sign tu kau buta ke.
