Singaporean Poh Po Lian Informed By Macc That His Warrant Of Arrest Will Be Cancelled On 20 October

KUALA LUMPUR, 19 OCTOBER 2026 – Singaporean Poh Po Lian, the executor of the estate of his business partner – the late Tan Sri Ta Kin Yan – attended a meeting with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in Kuala Lumpur on Monday, 19 October 2026, to voluntarily assist with its investigations alongside his lawyers from Jerald Gomez and Associates.

Mr Poh left the MACC at about 3.20pm.

Following the meeting, Mr Poh was released on bail of RM100,000. MACC has informed Mr Poh that his warrant of arrest will be cancelled on 20 October, and his name will be removed from all MACC portals.

In addition, Mr Poh has confirmed that the two previous officers handling his case, Stefan Lue Hsien Yang and Wong Yun Fui, have also been removed from the investigation with new officers now assigned to the matter.

Mr Poh shared, “I have and will continue to assist the MACC with their investigations and provide my full cooperation to the Malaysian authorities. I have attended meetings with the MACC on three separate occasions now, and will continue to do so as required.”

The session today at the MACC marked the third 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

Mr Poh has consistently cooperated with the MACC at every stage when requested and will continue to fully cooperate with the Malaysian authorities.

“I remain committed to honouring the final wishes of my late business partner Tan Sri Ta Kin Yan. I will continue to to fulfil my duties as the court-appointed sole executor and trustee to his estate as set out in his will, and ensure that they are fulfilled faithfully,” reiterated Mr Poh.

Mr Poh has affirmed in his affidavit 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 Kin Yan’s estate.
