MACC: We are still probing alleged corruption in MBPJ

PETALING JAYA (Feb 6): The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) today said investigations into alleged conflict of interest in the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) are still ongoing, the Star reported today.

Selangor MACC director Datuk Alias Salim also denied that no action had been taken.

He added that specific details of the investigations could not be revealed currently “as it will prejudice the ongoing probe”.

According to the Star, Bukit Gasing assemblyman Rajiv Rishyakaran in a press conference at his office on Feb 3 alleged that the MACC had still not acted on his report about the alleged misuse of power involving projects that had not been started despite payments having been made.

His allegations were based on information provided by a whistleblower.

Alias said Rajiv's queries did not go unanswered as the MACC had written to him on Dec 4, 2019 and Jan 20, 2020 on the status of the matter.
