MACC says still probing Mindef land swap deals


KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) says it is still investigating the controversial land swap deals involving the Defence Ministry, following claims by de facto Deputy Law Minister Mohamed Hanipa Maidin that there is only one investigation paper opened.

Its chief commissioner Latheefa Koya said the land swap deals go back more than 25 years, so MACC needed more time as they faced difficulty obtaining evidence.
