PETALING JAYA- The ‘Datuk’ who was arrested by the police recently is not an employee of the National Feedlot Corporation.
NFC executive chairman Datuk Seri Dr Mohamad Salleh Ismail clarified that the suspect was not related to him or any member of his family.
“The Datuk also was not and never was an employee of the corporation,” he said yesterday.
The Datuk, who is said to be well-known and had duped numerous people, was detained on Wednesday when he allegedly tried to bribe several commercial crimes investigations department (CCID) officers with about RM1.7mil to avoid arrest.
On Friday, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission officers went to the NFC main office in Jalan Solaris in Mont Kiara.
The Auditor-General’s Report released in October had stated that NFC had failed to meet its cattle production target.
MACC was said to be investigating whether Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, who is the wife of Dr Mohamad Salleh, had any part in the awarding of a RM250mil loan to NFC.
