She claimed that in the nine months since she lodged the report at the Petaling Jaya police station, the police had not reached out to her to follow up on the case.

“The police have not done any investigation as far as I know, because there has been no follow up.

“We don’t even know who the investigating officer is for this report,” the widow of former finance minister Daim Zainuddin told reporters here today.

In an article last September, Bloomberg cited sources as saying that Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Azam Baki had told agency officials that instructions to investigate Daim, as well as former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad and his sons, had come from Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim himself.

Naimah lodged a report over the article, saying it showed that the charges against her and Daim were a conspiracy to target Anwar’s political opponents by “subverting the institutions of state and enforcement bodies”.

“It is an open secret that Daim and I were subjected to politically motivated investigations and trumped-up charges instigated by Anwar,” she said after filing her report last year.

Daim was charged last January with failing to declare assets to MACC, including interests in 38 companies, 19 plots of land in five states, six properties, two unit trust accounts, and seven luxury vehicles.

After his death on Nov 13 last year, the prosecution withdrew the charges, and the court granted an order discharging and acquitting him.

Naimah is accused of failing to declare her ownership in various companies, several plots of land here and in Penang, and two vehicles.
