Is MACC ill-equipped, Puad asks as Muhyiddin's son-in-law still at large

Umno supreme council member Mohd Puad Zarkashi threw shade at the MACC for its inability to locate former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin’s son-in-law, Muhammad Adlan Berhan.

“MACC claimed it could not locate Adlan and his lawyer Mansoor Saat. Where are they? They have gone missing since May 2023.

“It’s strange. I thought the MACC had all the latest equipment and a great intelligence team to trace any suspects regardless of where they are hiding,” Puad (above) said on Facebook.

Yesterday, MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki said his team was unable to locate Adlan and charge him in court with criminal breaches of trust.

“He (Adlan) can’t be found. He cannot be traced to be brought back to Malaysia,” Azam said briefly during a press conference in Putrajaya yesterday.

In June, the MACC announced that they were seeking the assistance of Interpol and other relevant authorities to locate Adlan.

The graft buster was reportedly searching for Adlan and Mansoor to assist in investigating a project concerning the misappropriation of biometric registration, recruitment and data storage of migrant workers for a government ministry.

Remember Najib’s audio clips?

On that note, Puad reminisced about the time former MACC chief commissioner Latheefa Koya revealed audio recordings involving a conversation between former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak and the United Arab Emirates crown prince to the press.

“Mind you, the audio was captured when Najib was still serving as prime minister.

“If that was the case, I’m sure the conversation between Muhyiddin and Adlan must have been recorded - which means we may know his whereabouts.

“It’s a real mystery… he (Adlan) must be hiding in a very high-tech place. Perhaps, our MACC is not high-tech enough?” the Johor state assembly speaker asked.

Puad was referring to Latheefa’s move on Jan 8, 2020, when she released audio recordings of several telephone conversations involving Najib with regard to the 1MDB scandal.

Among them were several calls between him and former MACC chief commissioner Dzulkifli Ahmad.
