The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has called the former driver of actress Zahida Mohamed Rafik for questioning on a matter believed to be linked to his allegation in May last year about Zahida and Rural Development Minister Shafie Apdal.

NONE Noor Azman Azemi, accompanied by PKR legal bureau chief Latheefa Koya and his aunt, renowned 1980s singer Dayangku Intan, arrived at MACC headquarters in Putrajaya around 10am.

Latheefa told reporters that she believes it is linked to Azman's allegation , made in May last year, that he witnessed Zahida ( left ) making a bank deposit of RM1 million that was said to have been received from Shafie.

Both Zahida and Shafie have denied the allegation and threatened to take legal action against their accusers.

Azman came out of the building at around 1.17pm after a 90-minute statement recording session.

During the press conference that followed, Latheefa said Azman was called as a witness in the case that involves Zahida’s allegation against him.

“I believe Azman was called today regarding Azman’s expose over the RM1 million last year.

“But until today he has yet to be charged in court,” she stressed.

However, she declined to revealed the contents of the statement as it is restricted under the Anti-Money Laundering Act.

Latheefa said Azman was initially called to give his statement on Jan 29, but it was then postponed to today due to his other commitments.
