Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim

Abdul Azeez bin Abdul Rahim (Jawi: عبدالعزيز بن عبدالرحيم, Tamil: அப்துல் அஸீஸ் பின் அப்துல் ரஹீம், romanized: Aptul asīs piṉ aptul rahīm; born 19 November 1966) is a Malaysian politician and businessman who served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Baling from May 2013 to November 2022 and Chairman of the Tabung Haji (TH) from July 2013 to his resignation in May 2018.

[6] However, in 2018, after his reelection as member of parliament and the change of ruling government to Pakatan Harapan (PH), he resigned as chairman of Tabung Haji.

[9] On 22 May 2018, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) raided and seized over RM500,000 in cash of various currencies, some documents, jewellery and luxury watches in several houses and offices in four states occupied by Azeez.

[16] Tabung Haji on 30 November 2018 reported to police against Azeez as its former chairman and senior management over alleged misuse of RM22 million belonging to a charitable fund for politically linked activities.

[18] On 7 August 2019, Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court set 25 Sep and 11 Oct to hear the corruption case of Azeez and his brother.

After Judge Azura Alwi announced the dates, however, Deputy Public Prosecutor Azlinda Ahad said the prosecution will apply to transfer the case to the High Court.

[19] On 13 July 2020, during the first parliament sitting after the change in government, Azeez provoked a controversy for making racist and sexist comments.
