PUTRAJAYA, May 4 — Former economy minister Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli arrived at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters today to provide his statement in a probe into alleged abuse of power and graft involving a RM1.1 billion semiconductor deal with United Kingdom-based firm ARM Limited.
The Pandan member of parliament arrived at 9.31 am.
Before entering, Rafizi told reporters he would give his full cooperation to the investigation.
On Saturday, MACC senior investigation director Datuk Mohd Hafaz Nazar said the case is being investigated under Section 23 of the MACC Act 2009 for the misuse of position or authority for gratification.
According to him, 22 statements have been recorded, including from ministers and senior officials across several government agencies, since the investigation began on February 13, 2025.
Mohd Hafaz said the anti-graft body also recorded statements from Rafizi’s former aide Chai Jin Shern, better known as James Chai, for three consecutive days starting Tuesday last week.
