PAS wants the police and MACC to divulge the findings of 1MDB-linked investigations into two companies co-owned by Tawfiq Ayman, the husband of former Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) governor Zeti Akhtar Aziz.
PAS information chief Khairil Nizam Khirudin (above) said it was a pressing matter of public interest.
"PAS wants a detailed explanation from MACC and police in regard to their investigation on 1MDB funds involving Iron Rhapsody Ltd and Cutting Edge Industries Ltd," he said in a statement today.
Iron Rhapsody is beneficially owned by Tawfiq and one of his sons.
The company reportedly received US$16.22 million of 1MDB-linked funds in 2008 and 2009, to which the Singapore authorities alerted BNM of in 2015 and 2016 when Zeti was the governor.
Iron Rhapsody is then alleged to have transferred the 1MDB-linked funds to Cutting Edge Industries - which is also owned by Tawfiq and his sons Abdul Aziz and Aliff Ayman.
False impression
Police in June said they were close to wrapping up their probe into Tawfiq.
Former attorney-general Tommy Thomas also said that MACC was looking into Zeti and her husband.
Meanwhile, Tawfiq's partner in Cutting Edge Industries, Samuel Goh, had testified in Singapore courts about his involvement in setting up a fund for Aabar Investment PJS Ltd (Aabar BVI).
Aabar BVI was a company set up by 1MDB mastermind Jho Low to give a false impression that it was the subsidiary of the International Petroleum International Co, and was used to squirrel away 1MDB funds.
The Edge has also alleged that Tawfiq was believed to be one of Low's partners in the Abu Dhabi Malaysia Kuwait Investment Corporation (ADKMIC) when it was founded in 2007.
ADKMIC was used by Low between 2011 and 2013 to launder misappropriated 1MDB funds during the Good Star phase.
