COMMENT Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, the women, family and community development minister, is reported to return to work next week, after three weeks of holidays, purportedly intended to allow the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and the police carry out investigations into her family-owned National Feedlot Centre.

The minister and her family are under investigation, the assets of the NFC are frozen and the Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yasin is leading a task force to find a solution to the cattle rearing project.
