Proposal to charge Sivarasa's nephew, one other for corruption delayed at AGC, claim sources


PUTRAJAYA: The proposal to charge two individuals including the nephew of Sungai Buloh lawmaker R. Sivarasa for corruption was made in 2019 but action was "delayed at the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC)", claim sources.

Sources with knowledge of the case said the fact that the two were brought to court to face charges on Monday (Jan 24) had nothing to do with the "latest issues" (involving the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki).
