MBI to issue letter demanding return of compensation Monday

Menteri Besar Incorporated (MBI) will be issuing the letter ordering its eight former staff to return the compensation totalling RM2.6 million on Monday.

"The letter will be sent tomorrow," said an MBI officer when contacted by Astro AWANI today, confirming the matter.

It is learned that the eight former staff must return the money within 14 days after receiving the letter.

On Saturday, Selangor Menteri Besar Mohamed Azmin Ali had ordered the ex-staff of former Selangor MB Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim to return the compensation, totalling RM2.6 million, which was paid to them.

He was informed by MBI that a letter will be sent to the eight individuals and they have to return the money.

Mohamed Azmin said this was because the compensation payment was not done according to procedures and had violated financial regulations.

Eight former staff of Abdul Khalid, who were appointed by MBI on contract basis, reportedly received compensation totalling RM2.6 million which was paid at the end of Abdul Khalid's service and before Mohamed Azmin was apppointed as Selangor MB on Sept 23, 2014.

The compensation paid was deemed as ridiculous by various parties, including Shah Alam MP Khalid Abdul Samad.

Mohamed Azmin stressed that the eight former MBI staff will be paid compensation accordingly.
