PUTRAJAYA, September 25 2026, The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) will issue notices to former human resources minister Datuk Seri M. Saravanan, his wife and their three children, requiring them to declare their assets within 30 days.
MACC chief commissioner Datuk Seri Abd Halim Aman said the notices under Section 36 of the MACC Act 2009 will be handed to Saravanan, his wife and two of their children at the MACC headquarters on Monday.
He said their other child, who is currently overseas, will receive the notice in November.
“They have been informed and will attend the MACC headquarters for the delivery of the notices,” he said at a press conference after the closing ceremony of the 5th National Research Conference on Governance, Integrity and Anti-Corruption 2026 here today.
Abd Halim said the recipients would be given 30 days to declare their assets, with an extension possible if requested.
Saravanan was previously charged at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court with three counts of allegedly receiving bribes totalling nearly RM1.09 million in connection with the approval of 1,000 foreign worker quotas for a company four years ago.
Meanwhile, Abd Halim said the MACC has yet to receive asset declarations from former Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH) chairman Datuk Seri Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim and his family.
He said the notices were served on Sept 15 under Section 49 of the Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing Act 2001, and the family has one month to submit their declarations.
