MACC chief: Big arrests won't affect investor confidence

KUALA LUMPUR: Recent big arrests made by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission will not shake investor confidence in the economy, said MACC chief commissioner Datuk Dzulkifli Ahmad.

"I do not believe that our operations to eradicate corruption will affect investor confidence on the Malaysian economy and I am bent on continuing with it despite the pressures or that I am going to be unpopular.

"It's been a year since I took over and I will continue to put pressure on those who are dealing in this very unhealthy practice and work towards a corruption-free country," he told reporters after a walkabout at the Berjaya Times Square in conjunction with MACC 3JJJ (Jangan Hulur, Jangan Kawtim and Jangan Settle) campaign on Wednesday.
