The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) today seized three boxes, believed to contain documents pertaining to a luxury hotel buy in London by the Felda Investment Corporation (FIC).

At least eight MACC officers came down to the lobby of the Felda office in Jalan Gurney, Kuala Lumpur, about 5.45pm - some eight hours after they had arrived there at 10.20 this morning.

They were seen pushing a trolley filled with the yellow-coloured boxes, before getting into a car and leaving the premises without engaging with the media.

The FIC's Corporate Communications Division, in a statement later, confirmed the "visit" by MACC and said the FIC will give "full support and cooperation in enabling the authorities to carry out a detailed and thorough investigation. 

"FIC is committed to support efforts by the relevant parties to enhance transparency, accountability, integrity and ethical business practice as key features of good corporate governance," read the statement. 

MACC chief commissioner Dzulkifli Ahmad had recently said the commission was investigating FIC's purchase of a four-star hotel in Kensington, London, between 2013 and 2015 after the graft busters new information on the case.

According to initial investigations, the FIC is believed to have purchased the hotel at a price way higher than its initial price, causing FIC millions of ringgit in losses.

This comes after the commission initially cleared the FIC of any wrongdoing pertaining to the transaction made in May 2015.

During the initial investigation in 2015, then Felda chairperson Isa Samad’s son was called in for questioning over the RM330 million purchase of the Grand Plaza Kensington, now renamed Park City Hotel.
