Controversy

1MDB case

See main article: 1Malaysia Development Berhad scandal. On 30 June 2020, High Court judge Mohamed Zaini Mazlan has allowed the prosecution’s application to forfeit at least RM265,000 frozen in a bank account belonging to Abdul Manan, to the Malaysian government. The funds were frozen by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) due to links with the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) fund scandal.[6] [7] These funds were purportedly disbursed via an Ambank account opened under the name of former prime minister Najib Razak.[8]
