PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is studying allegations against Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming regarding his recent announcement of an allocation for infrastructure in Kuala Kubu Baru.
MACC chief Tan Sri Azam Baki said the commission will study whether such an action was related to bribery.
"The matter will be looked at by the MACC’s complaints centre and till now no investigation papers have been opened,” he said after the launch of the National Anti-Corruption Strategy (NACS) 2024-2028 at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC), here on Tueaday (May 7).
Nga said on April 18 that his ministry had allocated RM5.21mil for public infrastructure upgrading works. This includes 14 projects worth RM4.82mil in the Chinese New Village Project in Hulu Selangor, which is under the supervision of the local municipal council.
The Local Government Minister made the announcement during a visit to Kuala Kubu Baru, ahead of the official campaigning period for the by-election, which started on April 27. – Bernama
