00:00 The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission has disregarded Aman Palestine's warning of legal

00:07 action if it does not release the NGO's bank accounts in three days.

00:12 MACC Chief Commissioner Azam Baki said, although he had yet to receive any letter from Aman

00:17 Palestine over the matter, the anti-graft agency was ready to face any legal challenge

00:22 from the NGO.

00:23 Azam said, "MACC had acted professionally, without any malice or ill will towards anyone."

00:29 The New Straits Times reported.

00:32 Yesterday, Aman Palestine's lawyer Rafiq Rashid Ali said, "MACC had three days to unfreeze

00:37 the bank accounts, failing which, the matter would be taken to court."

00:41 Recently, MACC froze 41 bank accounts belonging to Aman Palestine and several other companies,

00:48 which had a combined total of RM15.8 million as part of an investigation into the alleged

00:53 misappropriation of RM70 million by the NGO.

00:57 Rafiq said, "The press release by MACC was tantamount to character assassination of the

01:03 NGO and its board members, and was impeding local NGOs from providing much-needed assistance

01:09 for the Palestinian people."
