Former Malaysian Finance Minister's Wife Charged Over Undeclared Assets

Na'imah Abdul Khalid accuses Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim of political witch-hunt, as her husband Daim Zainuddin also faces investigation.

Na'imah Abdul Khalid, wife of former Malaysian finance minister Daim Zainuddin, has been charged in court for failing to declare assets, including the multimillion-dollar Ilham Tower.
Na'imah faces up to five years' jail and a fine of up to RM100,000 (US$21,117) if found guilty.
Na'imah has accused Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim of using state powers for personal ends and targeting his political opponents.
Daim Zainuddin, a businessman, is also under investigation by the anti-graft agency and has called the probe a 'political witch-hunt'.
The investigation into Daim was based on information obtained from the Pandora Papers leak in 2021.
