Several investigations are being carried out by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) right now into various high-profile individuals. One of which is on former finance minister Tun Daim Zainuddin, whose name was listed on the Pandora Papers in 2021. There’s also the case of the previous government which allegedly spent RM 700 million on publicity efforts. We speak to Raymon Ram who’s a certified fraud examiner & anti-money laundering specialist at Graymatter Forensic Advisory. He’s also a part of Transparency International–Malaysia.
