Wife Of Ex-army Chief To Be Charged In Kuala Terengganu Court Today

Kuala terengganu: Salwani Anuar@Kamaruddin, the wife of former army chief Tan Sri Muhammad Hafizuddeain Jantan, is scheduled to be charged at the Kuala Terengganu Sessions Court today in connection with alleged money laundering activities. The 27-year-old woman arrived at the court premises at 8.25 am, dressed in a white shirt and black headscarf, and was seen entering the court building in a wheelchair due to a chronic boil on her thigh.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, last Thursday, Salwani pleaded not guilty at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court to a charge of receiving proceeds from illegal activities amounting to RM77,000. She was granted bail of RM30,000 in two sureties by Judge Rosli Ahmad.

On January 7, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), through Op Parasit, arrested a high-ranking officer and his two wives in connection with investigations into tender procurement of army projects. The following day, the officer was remanded for seven days, while his two wives were remanded for three and six days respectively to facilitate investigations.

The MACC investigation into the case began on October 7, 2025, and is classified as sensitive due to its involvement of high-ranking officers and its implications for public interest. On December 23, 2025, a team of MACC officers arrived at the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) to conduct preliminary investigations into several army-related projects dating back to 2023.
