Former Malaysian PM Muhyiddin questioned by anti-graft agency on government contract awarded to relative - CNA

KUALA LUMPUR: Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman Muhyiddin Yassin has reportedly been questioned by the country’s anti-graft agency over allegations that a government contract was awarded to a relative when he was Malaysia’s prime minister.

The Star, citing a source, reported that Mr Muhyiddin was called in by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) on Thursday (Feb 16) over the contract which was said to be worth over a billion ringgit.

Last Thursday, Mr Muhyiddin denied claims that he had awarded the National Integrated Immigration System (NIISe) to IRIS Corp Bhd that was purportedly linked to his son-in-law.

Local media reports had previously named Mr Muhyiddin’s son-in-law, Adlan Berhan, as a possible key player in the contract for the NIISe - an immigration system that seeks to use biometric technology to enable the adoption of e-Gates at Malaysia’s immigration checkpoints.

In a Facebook post on Feb 9 refuting the allegations against him, Mr Muhyiddin said: “I vehemently deny this accusation. It is an evil slander deliberately designed to defame me and my family.

“I, as the prime minister at the time, was not at all involved in the process of awarding NIISe contract to IRIS Corporation Berhad which was conducted through open tender.”

Mr Muhyiddin was Malaysia’s 8th prime minister from March 2020 to August 2021.

Death of Thai boy rescued from cave: Mum appeals for help to bring body home from UK - CNA

FOUND UNCONSCIOUS IN DORM ROOM

Kiatisuk told the press conference that Duangpetch was found unconscious in his dorm room last Sunday by a teacher and was taken to Kettering General Hospital.

Two days later, the hospital reported that Duangpetch’s breathing became weaker and that he was not responsive.

“I feel that he was gone very quickly. The hospital informed the Thai embassy and the embassy coordinated with Dom’s father and mother all the time … I never thought anything like this would happen,” Kiatisuk said, adding he is still shocked by the news.

“I am still thinking about his dream. He wanted to be in the national team. He wanted to be a professional footballer. His voice is still ringing in my ears,” said Kiatisuk.

In response to CNA's query, Leicestershire Police said they were called to a boarding school shortly before 1pm last Sunday.

The call concerned the welfare of a pupil, police added without naming the student.

"The pupil - a 17-year-old boy - was taken to hospital. He has since died."

The police said that the boy's death is not being treated as suspicious.

"A file will be prepared for the coroner", who will also identify the deceased boy, they added.

The coroner's office told CNA that the death of Duangpetch "has been reported to the coroner in our jurisdiction" and that an investigation has commenced.

In a letter from Brooke House College's principal Ian Smith, he said members of staff from the college were with Duangpetch in his final hours in the hospital.

"Brooke House is a family institution and as a family we have lost one of our own. We are all united in the sympathies that we have for Dom's friends and family, as well as the wider school community, who are all deeply saddened by this tragic news," wrote Mr Smith.

"Our thoughts and prayers remain with those closest to him. In the days ahead I am sure we will all reflect on Dom's life which saw significant moments of challenge and adversity as well as moments of great personal and sporting accomplishment."

He added that the college is in "constant liaison" with the Thai embassy.

“13 OF US WILL ALWAYS HAVE EACH OTHER”

Duangpetch, also known as Dom, was one of the 12 schoolboys rescued from the Tham Luang Nang Non cave in the northern province of Chiang Rai in 2018. The boys, who were members of the Wild Boar Academy, went to explore the cave with their football coach before it was flooded, blocking their way out.

The search and rescue operation involved thousands of volunteers, officials, cave divers and experts from around the world. It ended successfully with all 13 brought to safety.

Heartfelt condolences have been pouring on social media from Duangpetch’s former team-mates and the football coach who were stuck in the flooded cave with him.
