‘Prominent’ politician will be called in when time is right, says MACC
15 witnesses have been called so far to facilitate investigations.
THE Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has not ruled out the involvement of a prominent politician as it widens its probe into Menteri Besar Incoporated (MBI Selangor).
MACC Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki did not deny the involvement of the politician and that 15 witnesses had so far been called in to facilitate the investigation.
The investigation concerns sand mining concessions managed by the state’s investment arm.
“I can’t reveal the name of the politician. He will be called when the time is right.
“We need to gather all the evidence and verify them first, before making the call,” he said when approached by reporters in Kota Kinabalu, today.
Azam said 15 witnesses have been called and more will likely be called to assist in the investigation.
Azam also clarified that four individuals – three men and a woman – have been arrested in connection with the case so far.
