(China Press pic)PETALING JAYA : Businessman Nicky Liow’s RM36 million money laundering case has been dropped by the prosecution, according to his lawyer, Rajpal Singh. He said Liow’s money laundering case had nothing to do with fraud or scam syndicates as alleged by certain quarters, but a purported failure to fully declare his taxes to the Inland Revenue Board. Rajpal said Liow’s case was dropped after he paid RM400,000 in outstanding taxes. In April 2022, Liow was charged in the Shah Alam sessions court with 26 counts of money laundering totalling RM36 million. His brother, Wei Kin, was also slapped with charges of tax evasion and money laundering but was also acquitted in July 2023 after paying RM4.147 million to the government.
