PETALING JAYA: Facing financial struggles, the Selangor Umno has been forced to put its headquarters for rent, The Malaysian Insight reported today.
The investigation on the 1MDB scandal led the government to freeze Umno’s accounts, leading Selangor Umno to put up its whole building in Shah Alam for rent.
The media report, quoting sources, said that Selangor Umno is looking at other places to house its office.
It is also said the party is considering to move back to its old headquarters in Jalan Ipoh.
When contacted, Acting Umno liaison chairman Mat Nadzari Ahmad Dahlan neither denied nor confirmed the matter.
Umno was part of 41 individuals and entities named in a civil forfeiture suit, under the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA) for forfeiture of property, filed by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) last week.
They were named as the alleged beneficiaries of monies transferred from former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak’s bank account.
MACC said that Umno divisions made up 78.5% (RM212 million) from the RM270 million they are seeking to recover.
