KUALA LUMPUR (March 19): Victor Chin Boon Long, who is entangled in 'corporate mafia' investigations, alleged that several accounts associated with him previously frozen by authorities have been “unfrozen” amid possible involvement of “high-level interference”.

"I have come to know that there are magic hands facilitating the fast-track reopening of some of the current frozen accounts. 

"This is extremely unjust, and I hope all frozen accounts, whatever their relationship with me, will be treated equally and fairly," Chin said in a statement.

Chin has previously claimed that bank accounts of companies that are not even owned by him have been frozen for over 90 days, affecting businesses, investors, employees, and the wider economy.

Some accounts were frozen due to suspected indirect links, with more than 500 stockbroking and bank accounts reportedly affected, many in investigations related to developments surrounding NexG Bhd (KL:NEXG).

Chin is at the centre of investigations by the police's Anti-Money Laundering (AMLA) Special Task Force and the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) after international news agency Bloomberg published an article claiming that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) was being used by a group of businessmen dubbed ‘corporate mafia’, including Chin, to seize control of public listed companies.

Both Chin and the MACC separately denied allegations in the report. 

On Thursday, Chin called on Bursa Malaysia and the SC to investigate any irregularities in account freezes and share transfers.

"I believe there might have been some high-level interference in the freezing and unfreezing of accounts between Rembulan Lestari Sdn Bhd and Skyelimit Alliance Sdn Bhd to facilitate the transfer of NexG Bhd shares.

"Both Rembulan and Skyelimit's accounts were already frozen at the material time. Yet a higher power instructed for the unauthorised unfreezing of these accounts in order for the shares to be transacted, before being frozen again," the statement read.

Rembulan Lestari is the private vehicle of NexG's executive chairman and chief executive officer Datuk Abu Hanifah Noordin, while Skyelimit Alliance was linked to NexG’s former executive deputy chairman Tan Sri Mohd Khairul Adib Abd Rahman.

"I am speaking out on this, and I hope you (Bursa Malaysia and the SC) will exercise your fiduciary duty and do the same. Please bring those who are responsible to justice," Chin said.

According to Chin, he has been “silent over six months”, but staying silent had only worsened the situation. He claimed the AMLA investigation into him had become “increasingly unreasonable” and questioned the motives behind the police actions.

"May I ask: what are you doing and where is your conscience? At this moment, anyone who knows me becomes collateral damage," Chin said. He added that associates, employees, and investors had been caught up in the investigation simply for having links to him, with accounts frozen and business operations disrupted.

"The repercussions of being AMLA-ed is massive. It is not merely about freezing an account…it creates a permanent record across financial institutions globally," he said, warning that affected individuals and businesses face long-term difficulties in securing loans or funding, despite having committed no wrongdoing.

Chin added that he had fully cooperated with authorities, returning to Kuala Lumpur on Dec 29, 2025, providing a full statement, and being remanded for three days. He stressed that he had not attempted to evade authorities and had acted “by the book” throughout.

Chin also directed messages to Inspector General of Police Datuk Seri Mohd Khalid Ismail, urging that investigations be fair, transparent, and free from external interference.
