Khir (right) has been hauled up by graft busters for his ostentatious mansion and frequent foreign trips when he was mentri besar of Selangor.
Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Khir Toyo was grilled by the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission (MACC) at their headquarters here today for about six hours over his palatial mansion and state-funded trips when he was Selangor mentri besar.
Pakatan Rakyat lawmakers had claimed the Selangor opposition leader’s Balinese-style mansion in Shah Alam is worth RM24 million, far beyond the wages of a state assemblyman or mentri besar.
The former dentist was also quizzed about his trips to Disneyland which were paid for by state subsidiaries. Khir has called the allegations baseless, saying the state firms made the arrangements without his knowledge.
An MACC officer told reporters that Khir arrived at the commission’s headquarters here at 8.30am and left at about 2.30pm.
Reporters, however, did not get to catch a glimpse of the former mentri besar as he entered and left from the basement car park of the building housing anti-graft body’s offices.
When contacted by The Malaysian Insider, Khir confirmed he was questioned by the MACC but declined to elaborate.
The usually upbeat politician sounded very weak and tired and admitted that he was ill and seeking medical treatment.
The former Umno Youth exco member was made Selangor mentri besar in 2000 by former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad after Tan Sri Abu Hassan Omar quit the post over personal issues.
Dr Mahathir famously said he was looking for a clean man to lead the country’s most industrialised state. Khir remained mentri besar after the country’s fifth prime minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi led Barisan Nasional to its historic 91 per cent vote mandate in the 2004 polls.
Before Election 2008, Khir proudly boasted that Selangor would be a zero-opposition state. Instead, he lost the state to Pakatan Rakyat and was relegated to being the opposition leader.
Khir was suspended from the state assembly for a year by the Selangor state assembly’s rights and privileges committee due to his absence from the Selangor Select Committee on Competence, Accountability and Transparency (Selcat) inquiry into the alleged misconduct and inappropriate dealings of state charity Balkis

Another big drama by BN cronies and MACC
Look at his bloody cock face. for sure end up. will be FREE..
Let's see how the drama unfolds.. if he has to go.. many have to follow.. will he be the sacrificial lamb..? When things are finally sorted out, BN may have no one left.
He will walk away free from any charges due to lack to evidense then follow by no further action that is the conclusion. This is just a wayang kulit to shut the opinion that MACC is taking side. Too bad the opinion by many knows that he is guilty as charge.
MACC was in discussion with Khir Toyo for six hours on how to "handle" these 'false' allegation. Nothing will ever come out of this. EVEN...EVEN if there is somthing to charge him with.....there is still the judiciary to "handle" these charges. At the end of the day, da whole episode will only prove he is innocent. This kinda sandiwara we have seen and watch too many times lar..........change BN/AG/PDRM/MACC

Wahh, so nice ahh!!??
Teoh Beng Hock was interrogated from 5.30pm to 3.45am.
He was not a suspect, but a witess for a probe on RM2,400 abuse of state allocation.
Khir Toyo - only 6 hours and daytime only interview.
He is a suspect of corruption of millions of dollars on tax-payers money...
Holiday in disneyland tour, his massive mansion, plus many others -
6 hours - and Khir Toyo is sakit already.
He should be subjected to overnight interrogation lah -
then he would fall to sickness, instead he may fall from higher ground.
Shame lah, all wayang saje lah.
If TBH was interviewed from 8.30am to 2.30pm,
I can bet he would still be alive today.
