KUALA LUMPUR: The Ilham Tower building management has declined to comment on reports that the building has been seized by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

The New Straits Times had reached out to the building management to find out how the seizure status affected its daily operations.

"Why does this concern you? Whether we are aware or not, does it matter to you?

"We are the building management, and I am the building manager here. If you ask about visiting matters, I can provide you with an answer.

"However, for anything else, I am unsure if I am the right person to make a comment," the building management manager said when contacted.

Checks as of 12 noon today at the Ilham Tower building showed no signs of unusual activity.

No authorities, tapes or seizure notices were found within the compound.

Yesterday, it was reported that MACC seized Ilham Tower, a building owned by the family of former finance minister Tun Daim Zainuddin.

The seizure notice of the 60-storey building was dated Dec 18, and was published as an advertisement in local news portals.

It was signed by MACC deputy public prosecutor Ahmad Akram Gharib and made under Section 38(1) of the MACC Act 2009, addressed to the Property Rights Registrar, Lands and Mines Office of the Federal Territories.
