Malaysia: Daim’s daughter to be charged in Kuala Lumpur court amid corruption probe

Asnida Daim, daughter of the late finance minister Tun Daim Zainuddin, will be charged under the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act

Lawyer Yu Ying Ying confirmed that Asnida Daim, who is in her 60s, will be charged under Section 36(2) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act 2009.

That section relates to the offence of failing to comply with a written notice from the MACC to declare assets.

Court records indicate the case will be mentioned before Judge Rosli Ahmad at 9am.

In a separate statement, the MACC said it has also obtained approval to charge a company director linked to the so-called “Op Godfather” investigation at the same court on Tuesday.

According to lawyer Yu, Asnida had her statement recorded at the MACC headquarters for about five hours starting at 10am on Monday.
