KUALA LUMPUR: The issue regarding an RM2bil flood mitigation project said to have been awarded after Parliament was dissolved has been referred to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) for further action.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Azmi Abu Kassim confirmed that they had received a police report regarding the case.
"We have received the report and it has been referred to the MACC for further action," he said in a press conference at the Kuala Lumpur police contingent headquarters (IPK) here on Tuesday (Nov 15).
Parti Keadlian Rakyat (PKR) deputy president Rafizi Ramli had claimed that the Environment and Water Ministry was in the process of awarding the project worth RM2bil through direct negotiations when the current government had been dissolved.
Environment and Water Minister Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man in a statement said he had instructed his lawyer to file a defamation suit against Rafizi regarding the allegations. – Bernama
