Police have traced more than RM2.8mil allegedly belonging to Maju Institute of Educational Development (MIED) to an account which they have ordered to be frozen pending investigations.
Federal Commercial Crimes Investigations Department (CCID) director Commissioner Datuk Koh Hong Sun confirmed the freeze order.
Sources familiar with the investigations said CCID officers called in former MIED chief executive officer P. Chitrakala Vasu yesterday to record her statement in connection with a report she had lodged.
In her police report lodged in Shah Alam, she alleged that RM2mil in donations for Sri Lanka tsunami victims in 2004 was subsequently transferred to the account of the MIC’s social welfare arm, Yayasan Pemulihan Sosial.
She also claimed that scores of personal files kept in her office in the MIC headquarters had gone missing, and requested the police to help her get back the files, saying she had not been allowed into the premises.
Police started investigating MIED following a report lodged by MIC vice-president Datuk S. Sothinathan that money and files pertaining to MIED’s dealings had gone missing.
On Feb 22, MIC chief and former Works Minister Datuk Seri S.Samy Vellu was reported to have said that a top MIED official was responsible for the missing RM5.26mil, and hinted at more discrepancies being exposed.
