Police have postponed a scheduled meeting to question Matthias Chang, the ex-political secretary to former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
Chang yesterday said he was supposed to be questioned at 2pm today and had expected to be arrested but was later informed by police about the postponement.
"It is now 10am at Dang Wangi," he said in a text message.
Chang, who is a lawyer himself, is being sought by police as he had acted for former Batu Kawan Umno vice chief Khairuddin Abu Hassan ( photo ) who lodged police reports across the globe relating to accounts linked to 1MDB and Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.
This had sparked several international investigations including in the US, Hong Kong and Switzerland.
Following this, Khairuddin, who is seen as a close ally of Mahathir, was barred from leaving the country and later arrested under Section 124C of the Penal Code which concerns activities detrimental to parliamentary democracy.
Khairuddin was released a day before his remand expired and re-arrested immediately under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012, a law intended for terrorists, which allowed the government to detain him for 28 days.
Najib is facing increasing pressure to step down following the revelation that RM2.6 billion had found its way into the prime minister's personal bank accounts.
Najib had denied taking public funds for personal gain while his supporters claim the money was a "political donation".
