KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here was told that former attorney general Tan Sri Tommy Thomas insisted that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) prosecute Tan Sri Shahrir Ab Samad even though the investigation papers (IP) on his case were incomplete.

MACC investigating officer Nurzahidah Yacop, 35, said she received instruction from the prosecution, with permission given by Thomas on Jan 15, 2020, to charge the former Felda chairman, although the IP on the case was still incomplete.
