My Comments:
Hooray. The Minister is most likely the former Menteri Agama in charge of Tabung Haji. An ex Brigadier General. Initials JKB. Malulah. Not only ex Menteri Agama but ex Army man. Good job MACC.
So the former Chairman and former Treasury Sec Gen have also been arrested and remanded for a week. Very good. Throw the book at them. Good job MACC.
