Video of luxury home allegedly owned by Treasury sec-gen surfaces online
Clip features woman introducing her ‘husband Asri’, showcases interior
design works
KUALA LUMPUR – A video from 2021 showing a luxury residence
purportedly belonging to Treasury Secretary-General Datuk Seri
Asri Hamidin @ Hamidon has emerged, amid speculation that he is
to be replaced.
The minute-long clip appears to be an advertisement for the services
of an interior design company called Skuad Dekorasi.
A family with a man resembling Asri also makes a brief appearance
in the video as the purported owners of the home.
The video shows the beautiful furnishings of several bedrooms,
living rooms and kitchen, while the woman in the family talks
about the family’s satisfaction with the renovation and redesign
by Skuad Dekorasi.
At the beginning of her testimony, she can be heard introducing
herself and her “husband Asri”.
The video was posted on July 1, 2021 on a Facebook page
called Anwar Ibrahim PM Rakyat. It is not an official government
page and has about 119,000 followers.
Asri’s status as Treasury secretary-general is currently in doubt
after he was absent from the clocking-in ceremony for new
Finance Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in Putrajaya a few
days ago.
He was also absent from a briefing by senior officials of the
ministry for the new minister.
Yesterday, it was reported that Asri had already been on leave
at the time and that an announcement about changes in roles
in the civil service would be made by the Chief Secretary to
the Government Tan Sri Mohd Zuki Ali soon.
There have also been media reports that Asri would be removed,
but no explanations have been given.
The 56-year-old was appointed on May 1, 2020 during the
administration of then-prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin,
and had served under the finance minister at the time, Tengku
Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz. – The Vibes, December 8, 2022
