The anti-graft agency’s recent arrest of former finance minister Daim Zainuddin’s premier Ilham Tower was one of the posts he won the award for. One of the largest buildings in the money is the multi-million dollars business building in Kuala Lumpur City.
Mr. Lopez spoke with former politician’s close contacts in funding, who had a sizable amount of authority during Dr. Mahathir Mohamad’s two terms as top. Following Mr. Daim’s refusal to submit petitions from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission ( MACC ) to reveal his and his family’s financial holdings, they informed Mr. Lopez that the seizure occurred on December 21.
The splitting news article, published that evening, made CNA the first to take the information to visitors.  ,
Another post covered how a royal pardon helped to reduce Najib Razak’s 12-year prison sentence.  ,
Najib started serving his prison sentence in August 2022 after being found guilty in 2020 of corruption-related 1MDB fees.  ,
Mr. Lopez spoke with established sources, including top state figures, to make sure CNA was once more on the record with the account.  ,
These two exclusives were included in Mr. Lopez’s estimated ten research pieces and features on Malaysia’s anti-corruption efforts and their effects on its social environment, business field, and investment environment.
Mr Lopez is based in Kuala Lumpur. Since the mid-1980s, he has covered a lot of political and economic issues in the area.
