MACC probes claim of ‘rude’ officer who dismissed complainants

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) said it is probing an allegation that one of its officers rudely dismissed members of a political party from making a report at its headquarters here today.

In a statement today, the anti-graft agency said it viewed such allegations seriously and would take appropriate action if it was proven.

A 22-second video of the incident went viral on social media today.

MACC said that based on the gazetted Prohibited Areas rules, the security division only allows three representatives to enter the compound and the MACC building to meet officers on duty to lodge complaints.

Video recordings and cameras are also not allowed in the areas without the permission of top management, it added.

However, seven of the 25 individuals from the group entered the building compound in pairs up to the main entrance in the incident at 11am.

“These individuals did not comply with the rules because they recorded videos while being in the area,” it said.

Meanwhile, MACC confirmed that it had received information from Parti Sosialis Malaysia member Dr Jeyakumar Devaraj regarding the allegation of misconduct in government land affairs in Perak.

“MACC will review and scrutinise the information before taking action,” it said. FMT
