MACC denies issuing statement on investigation into PSD D-G for corruption
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 24 — The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has denied issuing a media statement relating to a corruption investigation involving the Public Services Department (PSD) director-general, dated August 23, 2023 which has been circulating on social media.
The MACC said in a statement today that the act of issuing such a fake statement was clearly malicious and misleading to the public.
“As such, the public is advised not to spread or share any uncertain or false information,” the commission said regarding a media statement titled “SPRM Siasat Dakwaan Rasuah Melibatkan Ketua Pengarah Perkhidmatan Awam Datuk Dr Zulkapli Mohamed” (MACC Investigates Corruption Allegations Involving the Director-General of Public Services Datuk Dr Zulkapli Mohamed) that was falsely claimed to have been issued by the commission.
