MACC denies claim RM94mil found in former minister's house


PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has denied claims that RM94mi had been found at a former minister's residence.

The MACC said Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki never made such a statement as claimed by Pendang MP Datuk Awang Hashim in the Dewan Rakyat on Monday (Nov 4).

"While MACC respects the rights of MPs to freely express their views, it is important that statements made are based on accurate facts to avoid confusion," it said in a statement on Monday.

Awang had claimed there was a previous case where RM94mi was found at the house of a minister from DAP but there had been no solution until today.

This caused a commotion in the house.

Jelutong MP RSN Rayer then challenged Awang to reveal the name of person implicated within 24 hours. – Bernama
