The Islamic Economic Development Foundation (Yapeim) has suspended its director-general Abibullah Samsudin (above) pending an investigation into alleged wrongdoing.

In a statement today, Yapeim chairperson Mohd Daud Bakar said an investigation committee set up by Yapeim will call Abibullah in for a statement regarding a video which warns Yapeim staff against voting for the then opposition Pakatan Harapan before last year's general election.

In the video, which was found during an internal probe and external audit conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Malaysia, Abibullah was allegedly heard telling the staff that he would check their vote one by one.
