THE remand order against MYAirline co-founder Datuk Allan Goh Hwan Hua has been extended for another two days or until tomorrow (Oct 22), said Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) director Datuk Ramli Yoosuf.
According to media reports, his wife Neow Ean Lee and son Sean Goh Tze Han have been released.
All three were earlier detained to assist in an investigation under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing, and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.
“The remand for Goh has been extended for two more days until tomorrow. His wife and son have been released,” news portal New Straits Times quoted Ramli as saying.
Meanwhile, the police are in the process of identifying the assets belonging to MYAirline Sdn Bhd co-founder and two of his family members.
The authorities suspect they may be involved in money laundering activities and illegal deposits, thus the need for a comprehensive investigation to trace any assets, bank accounts or properties believed to have been acquired through these activities.
“The investigations also involve determining the type of crime involved, including how the suspects procured the deposits,” Utusan Malaysia quoted him as saying.
Moreover, after MyAirline ceased operations, leaving passengers stranded, there were calls for the company to refund the passengers.
However, on Oct 18 the police confirmed the arrest of the airline’s co-founder and majority shareholder, Goh along with his wife and son. – Oct 21, 2023
