Nurul Izzah wants MACC to be placed under Parliament's oversight


PETALING JAYA: PKR deputy president Nurul Izzah Anwar has called for the country's top graft busters to be placed under the Parliament's oversight, alleging that some of the body's investigations are done in a "high-handed" manner.

In a statement, Nurul Izzah said while the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) carries out its duty under its governing Act, the powers granted could in some instances "create a climate where individuals are made to feel guilty for engaging in political rivalry or for daring to speak out".
