“Still in the midst of collecting information. So far we have not set up any committee,” he said refusing to comment further when met by reporters at the Menara Felda lobby here today.

The government yesterday appointed Idris as a neutral party to gather facts and resolve the crisis besetting FGV after four individuals, including its chief executive officer Zakaria Arshad, were instructed to go on leave.

Idris was seen arriving at Menara Felda, where the FGV headquarters is located, at 2.33pm and leaving the premises at 3.40pm.

Earlier, a team from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) was seen entering Menara Felda at about 10am and were still in the premises in the evening.

Apart from Zakaria, the others involved were FGV group chief financial officer Tifli Mohd Talha, Delima Oil Products Sdn Bhd senior general manager Kamarzaman Karim and FGV Trading chief executive officer Ahmad Salman Omar.

Yesterday, Zakaria was at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya to hand over documents related to FGV and to give a statement.

FGV had notified Bursa Malaysia that Zakaria would be on leave while investigations into a number of transactions undertaken by its subsidiary, Delima Oil Products Sdn Bhd, were being carried out.

Zakaria was appointed as FGV chief executive officer on April 1 last year.
