A source told FMT she will be charged under Section 36 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act for failure to comply with a notice from the agency.

If found guilty, she can be jailed for up to five years and fined a maximum of RM100,000.

It is understood that former solicitor-general Yusof Zainal Abiden will represent Naimah.

Daim is being investigated by MACC based on information from the Pandora Papers report, which linked several prominent Malaysians to offshore tax havens.

The anti-graft agency summoned Naimah and her sons, Amir Zainuddin and Amin Zainuddin, for questioning on Jan 10.

MACC said they were called to provide information on assets belonging to the family.

It said a notice was served on Daim under Section 36(1)(a) of the MACC Act 2009 on June 7, 2023. His family members were served notices under Section 36(1)(b) of the same Act.

Daim and his family have filed an application in court for a judicial review to challenge the MACC investigation, claiming that it was unconstitutional.

Last week, Naimah hit out at a report linking her, Amir and Amin to another offshore trust said to possess up to US$52.5 million in assets as of 2020.

She maintained that their offshore assets were never a secret and that they were the result of legitimate business activities and investments before Daim’s entrance into politics in 1984.
