KUALA LUMPUR: Tun Daim Zainuddin may be summoned by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) once again for having more undeclared assets.
MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said the investigation into the former finance minister was ongoing and said there was more verification work that needed to be done on the alleged undeclared assets.
When contacted by the New Straits Times today, Azam said there was information that Daim still had other assets that were undeclared.
"We are trying to verify this information," he said.
He, however, did not reveal other details or information pertaining to the alleged undeclared assets.
Earlier, Malaysiakini reported that sources close to the investigation suggested that the assets they were looking into included properties, shares and bank accounts both locally and overseas.
On Jan 28, Daim was charged with failure to declare 71 of his assets to the MACC.
He however pleaded not guilty to the offence.
According to the charge sheet, the 85-year-old failed to comply with an MACC notice to declare his assets such as one bank account, seven luxury vehicles, 38 companies, and 25 properties at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya on Dec 13, last year.
Daim's wife, Toh Puan Na'imah Khalid was also charged in the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court for failing to comply with notices from the MACC by not declaring assets and claimed trial.
