The Pandan MP had arrived at the MACC headquarters at 9.30am today to assist in an ongoing investigation into a RM1.1 billion government deal with UK-based semiconductor company Arm Holdings.

Rafizi left the building at 6.50pm.

Nearly 50 people had gathered outside to show support this morning, including PKR’s Subang MP Wong Chen, Petaling Jaya MP Lee Chean Chung, Ampang MP Rodziah Ismail, Wangsa Maju MP Zahir Hassan and Balik Pulau MP Bakthiar Wan Chik.

MACC is investigating alleged misconduct in the RM1.1 billion strategic partnership agreement between the economy ministry and Arm Holdings.

The anti-graft agency interviewed Rafizi’s former officer, James Chai, for three days last week.

Malaysia had committed US$225 million (RM930.52 million) to a four-year partnership with Arm Holdings to lower barriers for Malaysian companies seeking access to its intellectual property and technology.
