This after her lawyer’s claim she had been arrested following graft busters’ raid on her house

6:02 PM MYT

 

KUALA LUMPUR – Social media content provider Syarul Ema Rena Abu Samah, also known as “Ratu Naga,” was not detained but summoned by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to give a statement today.

MACC Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said the political activist was being investigated in connection with the woman’s allegation that she had received a share of the proceeds from donations to a non-governmental organisation.

“I confirm that she (Ratu Naga) has been summoned to give a statement and we also conducted an inspection at her premises.

“So far, she is still testifying at the MACC office in Putrajaya and has not been arrested,” he said when contacted.

Several media outlets had earlier reported Ratu Naga’s lawyer claiming that his client was arrested when five MACC officers raided her house in Jalan Klang Lama at about 9am today. – February 16, 2024
