00:00 Lawyer Mansoor Saad has issued a statement saying he is not a fugitive.

00:04 Mansoor, who is wanted by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, said his departure from the country

00:09 was legal.

00:10 He said the press release issued by MACC dated August 7 painted him as someone who was running

00:16 away to avoid prosecution.

00:18 Previously MACC said Mansoor and former Prime Minister Mohyuddin Yassin's son-in-law, Adlan

00:23 Berhan, had left the country in May.

00:26 The duo are being sought to assist in what is believed to be an investigation into a

00:30 project involving the registration, recruitment and storage of foreign worker biometric data

00:35 at a ministry.

00:37 Before leaving the country, Mansoor said he was summoned by MACC in March and had given

00:42 his cooperation.

00:44 However, he claimed that no evidence was shown to support the claims of alleged bribery.

00:50 Mansoor also said he would return to Malaysia to face prosecution if any, but would not

00:54 do so if he was being persecuted.
