Among those facing corruption charges are Bersatu chief Muhyiddin Yassin, who is also Perikatan Nasional chairperson, and Bersatu supreme council member Wan Saiful Wan Jan. Amid these cases was the charging
of an MACC officer and one “Datuk Roy” yesterday, for allegedly taking
bribes in connection with the MACC's investigation into Muhyiddin's son,
Fakhri Yassin.
Fakhri is not the only person with familial ties to Muhyiddin linked to the case. Who is who, and how are they linked?
Fakhri Yassin Mahiaddin
Fakhri, 48, is Muhyiddin's first-born son who was mentioned in the charge sheet of the Datuk Roy case. According to the charge sheet, a bribe was paid to rescue Fakhri from being remanded.
It was paid on March 6, within weeks of the first Jana Wibawa cases being brought to court. Fakhri
was called up for questioning during an MACC investigation, but the
reason for this has not been disclosed. He was not arrested nor charged
with corruption.
Siti Dalena and Syed Farid Al Attas
Siti Dalena, 47, is related to the Muhyiddin family through marriage. Her brother, Adlan Berhan, is married to Muhyiddin's daughter, Nabilah. Neither Adlan or Nabilah was named in the charge sheets.
Dalena
is married to Syed Farid, 41, and the couple's names were mentioned in
the charge sheets against "Datuk Roy" yesterday, for giving bribes to
try to save their relatives from action by the authorities, in March. In
one charge, Datuk Roy is accused of soliciting RM400,000 from Dalena,
and received RM240,000 from her husband, Syed Farid, as inducement not
to remand Fakhri.
In another charge, Datuk Roy is accused of soliciting a bribe of RM2
million from the couple, to reduce charges against Bersatu Segambut
information chief Adam Radlan Adam Muhammad.
