Singaporean Poh Po Lian Attends Routine Reporting with MACC on 2 November in Kuala Lumpur

KUALA LUMPUR, 2 NOVEMBER 2026 – Singaporean Poh Po Lian, the executor of the estate of his business partner – the late Tan Sri Ta Kin Yan – attended a routine reporting with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in Kuala Lumpur on Monday, 2 November 2026, to continue assisting with its investigations. He headed into MACC at about 10.10am and exited at approximately 10:35am, alongside his lawyer Dato Jerald Gomez from Jerald Gomez and Associates.

After his routine reporting to the MACC on 2 November, Mr Poh reaffirmed his commitment to cooperating with the Malaysian authorities whenever necessary and providing any assistance required as part of the ongoing investigations.

Mr. Poh shared, “I have consistently cooperated with the MACC whenever requested and today’s meeting is another example of my commitment. I will continue to provide any further information or assistance required by the authorities.”

Related to this, Mr. Poh stated in his Defence to a Counterclaim brought by Ta Wee Dher, Ta Shun Der, Ta Hui May and Ta Hui Hean in a separate legal suit that the multifaceted allegations, MACC reports, and recent arrest warrants he has been facing are part of a calculated campaign to fabricate grounds for his removal as executor and trustee of the late Tan Sri Ta’s estate.

“While my lawyers have advised that I not even discuss that matter given its baseless nature and the questions around its timing, what I can say is that it is very clear that all of these issues which I have been facing is mainly because of my role as the appointed executor of my late business partner’s business estate,” added Mr. Poh.

The session today at the MACC marked the fourth time Poh Po Lian is meeting and cooperating directly with its officials:

• On 5 March 2026, he attended the MACC office in Johor Bahru in person to provide a comprehensive statement.
• On 15 September 2026, he attended an official session alongside his legal counsel with the MACC at the Consulate General of Malaysia in Hong Kong.
• On 19 October 2026, he presented himself at the MACC headquarters in KL to provide his full cooperation as requested
• On 2 November 2026, he attended a routine reporting session at the MACC headquarters in KL to provide his assistance to investigations

Mr Poh added, “My priority remains to fulfil my responsibilities as the court-appointed executor and trustee of the late Tan Sri Ta Kin Yan’s estate, and ensure that his final wishes and the provisions of his will are fulfilled faithfully.”
