The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission has summoned businessman Albert Tei and a woman named Sofia Rini Buyong to appear at its Putrajaya headquarters on Dec 1 to assist in an investigation involving Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s former political secretary, Shamsul Iskandar Akin.
In a statement tonight, the anti-graft agency said it is working to trace Sofia as her testimony is vital to the investigation.
“Additionally, MACC has contacted Tei and requested that he also appear at the headquarters on the same date.
