MACC senior official's daughter questions transfer to PM's Dept


PETALING JAYA: The daughter of Datuk Bahri Mohd Zin (pic) has questioned the reasons for her father's sudden transfer out of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

Elia Bahri posted the question on her Facebook page following the special operations director's transfer to the Prime Minister's Department on Friday.

"As long as I have been his daughter, I know he is an expert on three things.

1) Teaching about religion, 2) Investigate, expose and catch bad guys, 3) Plant various types of plants.

"So when he was transferred, I thought to myself, what exactly do you want him to do?

1) Teach the people at JPM (PM's Department) about religion? 2) Plant trees there with the hope that it can be used to pay the bills of the house of a VIP, or 3) You all want him to expose you all more easily?" she said in her post.

Bahri and MACC's strategic communications director Datuk Rohaizad Yaakob were transferred to the PM's Department on Friday.

Bahri was among those questioned by Bukit Aman in connection with the leakage of information in the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) investigation.

On Aug 3, CID officers from Bukit Aman spent two hours questioning Bahri at the commission's headquarters in Putrajaya.

He was among several MACC directors questioned by the police the past week.
