Two MIED execs under probe over missing RM5mil


KUALA LUMPUR: Two senior executives of the Maju Institute of Educational Development (MIED) – the education arm of the MIC – are being investigated for alleged criminal breach of trust by the Commercial Crimes Investigation Department.

The two, who hold senior executive posts, are alleged to have taken out more than RM5mil from MIED’s account.

Sources said the money was allegedly transferred into another account, purportedly belonging to one of them.

It is learnt that MIC vice-president Datuk S. Sothinathan lodged a report when he learnt of the missing money.

Sources said MIC top brass also found several documents missing during a routine internal audit.

Commercial Crime Investigation Department director Comm Datuk Koh Hong Sun confirmed his officers were investigating the top executives but declined to elaborate.

According to Bernama, police sources revealed that commercial crime officers had spoken to Samy Vellu for five hours at the MIC headquarters on Wednesday and that some files on MIED were taken to aid in the probe.
“The Bukit Aman commercial crime division director is directly monitoring the investigations. This is a big case. We might also question several other MIC leaders on the case.

“Once investigations are completed, we will talk to anti-corruption commission if there was a need for further action.

“It is also monitoring the case and if we need its assistance, we would ask it to move in ... only if the need arises,” said a senior officer involved in investigations.

Samy Vellu, it is also learnt, has briefed the MIC central working committee on the visit by the police to the party headquarters at its meeting on Thursday.

MIED, which runs the Asian Institute of Medicine, Science and Technology (AIMST) through MIED Capital Sdn Bhd, has been mired in controversy after it was revealed that the cost of AIMST doubled from its early estimate.
Last December, Tan Sri M. Maha­lingam, a signatory of MIED cheques, was removed as MIC treasurer-general by Samy Vellu who said the move was part of an MIC rebranding exercise.

The party president had also said that there was a need to inject new blood into the party.

MIED chief executive officer P. Chi­trakala Vasu, on the other hand, has been asked by Samy Vellu to go on leave since the controversy broke out.
Chitrakala had received and replied to several show cause letters from Samy Vellu.
