AN Internal investigation regarding allegations of misconduct involving film producer and actor, Datuk Afdlin Shauki, in a RM4mil procurement contract by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) is expected to be completed next week.
Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories) Dr Zaliha Mustafa said DBKL’s integrity unit will summon all relevant parties, including Afdlin, to complete the investigation.
“It is fine if Adflin wants to reject and deny the allegations, that is his right. However, from the perspective of departmental governance, particularly agencies, we need to carry out the necessary investigations,” she said.
“Investigations are ongoing, and we are awaiting the results. If Afdlin is innocent, there’s no issue,” she told the media earlier this morning after officiating the 2025 Putrajaya Urban Agriculture and Stingless Bee Open Day (HTPBKP), which is open until tomorrow (Feb 2).
Dr Zaliha added that the ministry would not compromise on any misconduct or governance issues. “I had instructed DBKL to take immediate action regarding the misconduct. We, in the Federal Territories, are promoting a harmonious work culture based on integrity. It means good governance and avoiding corruption, so that good governance can be provided, added Dr. Zaliha.
Previously, media reports indicated that DBKL had begun an internal investigation into allegations of misconduct involving a board member linked to the awarding of a RM4 mil project.
The Kuala Lumpur mayor, Datuk Seri Maimunah Mohd Sharif, was reported to have confirmed the investigation and is working closely with DBKL’s integrity unit.
The misconduct allegations, involves a breach of governance procedures regarding the procurement of a creative material production project for DBKL, which was allegedly not awarded through an open tender, began circulating on social media since Friday.
