KUALA LUMPUR: There were no complaints last year that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) had used duress or torture to extract information from people in their investigation, MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Abu Kassim Mohamed said.
He said in the past, there had been “about 26 such complaints” but this was reduced significantly after MACC changed its interview room and put in CCTVs and switched its interrogation techniques, following the deaths of Teoh Beng Hock in 2009 and Customs officer Ahmad Sarbani Mohamed in 2011.
