The Selangor government is aware that an alleged bankrupt is heading a state welfare foundation, and is already investigating the matter, said Menteri Besar Mohd Azmin Ali.

He said the matter had came to light two months ago, long before it was raised by Sungai Besar Umno chairperson Jamal Md Yunos.

“When the state government received the information, the relevant party had been called to give an explanation.

“This was not because of Jamal. Jamal (had only raised the matter) last week. We did the investigation two months ago,” he told Malaysiakini when met after a press conference in Rawang today.
