KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) says it is looking into the possibility of charging certain individuals over the acquisition of Dudley House in Melbourne by Mara following claims it overpaid up to A$4.75mil (RM13.8mil) for the student housing facility.

MACC chief commissioner Datuk Seri Azam Baki said the probe into the case was completed at domestic level but there was a "slight hiccup" as the MACC had to work with other authorities including the Australian Federal Police (AFP), who in turn needed some leeway to complete their case.
