“Prior to this, I was shown a photocopied cash cheque by investigators which I had clarified that I have no knowledge of. “On both earlier occasions I had already signed a declaration to both the MACC and police confirming that I have no knowledge of the cash cheque,” said Ahmad, adding that he thought the matter had been settled then.Ahmad, who is also the Pontian MP, was explaining why he was among those to which the MACC issued compound notices for allegedly received money totalling RM420 million from 1MDB on Monday.

On the penalty for the MACC notice as announced by MACC chief commissioner Latheefa Koya on Monday, Ahmad questioned the amount.“Basically, I have to be rational and I have already engaged with a lawyer to clear my name in this latest matter.
