WASHINGTON, July 1 — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to visit the White House next week for talks with President Donald Trump, as the U.S. intensifies efforts to secure a ceasefire in Gaza, a U.S. official confirmed on Monday.
KUALALUMPUR, Feb 3 — Veteran actor Datuk Jalaluddin Hassan has expressed his willingness to cooperate with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC)if summoned for questioning in the Ops Sky investigation into a financial consultancy firm.
Speaking at an event last night, Jalaluddin admitted he was shocked by the allegations but remained calm. He stated that the firm assured him and two other celebrities they were not implicated.
“I was only an ambassador, producing videos and promoting the company. That was the extent of my involvement,” he said, clarifying that he had no knowledge of any financial misconduct.
He also denied claims that he received RM400,000 in payments. “I’d be very lucky if I ha d that kind of money. I won’t comment further—let the authorities investigate,” he added.
Meanwhile, singer Ziana Zain, who was also named in the probe, declined to comment when approached. “No comment, I just sing,” she said briefly.
MACC Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki confirmed that several celebrities linked to the consultancy firm would be questioned this week. Investigators found that some of the firm’s funds had been used for celebrity endorsements, with payments ranging from RM150,000 to RM400,000.
The Ops Sky probe, a joint effort between MACC and Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), has already led to the arrest of 27 individuals, including eight company directors and 18 bank officers. — Malay Mail
