PETALING JAYA: Investigations into alleged conflict of interest in the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) are still ongoing, says the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
Selangor MACC director Datuk Alias Salim also denied that no action had been taken.
He added that specific details of the investigations could not be revealed currently “as it will prejudice the ongoing probe”.
On Feb 3, Bukit Gasing assemblyman Rajiv Rishyakaran alleged the MACC had still not acted on his report.
During a press conference at his office, he said a whistleblower had informed his office about the alleged misuse of power involving projects that had not been started despite payments having been made.
“We had in fact responded in writing as recently as Dec 4,2019 and Jan
20 (2020) to his queries on the status of the matter and informed him that the investigations are still ongoing.
“His queries did not go unanswered, ” Alias said in a statement Thursday (July 6).
