MACC acted within its powers


THE recent disclosure of a clutch of videos by Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Latheefa Koya has predictably attracted wide public comments. Concerns raised include such issues as the right to privacy and right of an accused to a fair trial – in short, issues that deal with human rights, which are within the remit of the National Human Rights Society (Hakam).

Two matters are of direct relevance; firstly, the legality of the disclosure and secondly, the issue of transparency.
