A deposit amounting RM265,146.16 that was frozen in a bank account belonging to former Paya Besar MP Abdul Manan Ismail, who is now deceased, has been forfeited to the government.
This followed a decision by High Court judge Mohamed Zaini Mazlan in allowing the prosecution’s application to forfeit the money, which was frozen by the MACC for allegedly being linked to the 1MDB fund scandal.
