ACP R Munusamy, who attended the inquiry as a police observer, said Amri was declared a bankrupt on March 18, 2008.

Munusamy then asked a witness at the inquiry, Faisol Abdul Rahman, if he knew of Amri’s situation.

“No, I was not aware, now I am aware. I said Amri did not have money issues from the way he was living. He did not seem to have any money problems,” said Faisol.

“He did not talk about any money problems. He did not ask me for money or ask others,” he said on day three of the inquiry.

Suhakam commissioner Mah Weng Kwai, who is chairing the inquiry, suggested that the family lawyers should do some homework on Amri’s bankruptcy as it was revealed by the police.

“He could have been discharged from bankruptcy already so please go do your homework on this,” he said.

The inquiry was told by Amri’s wife, Norhayati Ariffin, that her husband had been involved in a foreign exchange (forex) trading business for seven years.

Faisol today revealed that Amri’s forex trading business managed funds of about RM100,000.

It was not revealed at the inquiry whether the forex trading business was licensed.

Amri, who co-founded the Perlis Hope charity, has been missing since Nov 24, 2016.

Amri’s wife Norhayati Ariffin had testified that five vehicles blocked Amri’s car before he was whisked away, just 550 metres from their home in Bukit Chabang, Perlis.

The Suhakam inquiry will also take testimony on the disappearance of pastor Joshua Hilmy and his wife Ruth, who were last seen on Nov 30, 2016.

Suhakam was inquiring into the disappearance of another pastor, Raymond Koh, but the hearing was halted after police informed the commission that an individual had been charged with his abduction.
