Wan Saiful said he is not clear about the details of the new charges under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (Amla) but will go to court tomorrow morning as instructed.

“I will be present to defend myself and I am confident that the court is the best place for me to seek justice.

“I am grateful to the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officers who interrogated me politely,” the Tasek Gelugor MP told FMT.

Previously, he faced two charges linked to the Jana Wibawa initiative, a stimulus package introduced by the then Perikatan Nasional-led government to help Bumiputera contractors during the Covid-19 pandemic.

At the sessions court in Kuala Lumpur last February, Wan Saiful denied accepting a bribe of close to RM7 million through projects commissioned under Jana Wibawa.

He also pleaded not guilty to soliciting an unspecified sum of money for a road project worth RM232 million, again in relation to Jana Wibawa.

Most recently in July, he failed in his attempt to have the charges dismissed.

An MACC source confirmed Wan Saiful’s appearance in court tomorrow.

“He was summoned to MACC headquarters in Putrajaya today for questioning before being charged tomorrow,” an MACC source told Bernama.

In addition, the source also said the deputy division chief of a political party will be charged with the same offence involving a sum of approximately RM500,000 in the same court.

“That individual will also be charged at Shah Alam sessions court this Thursday, facing several charges involving a total value of more than RM3 million, all under the same section,” the source said.
