Let MACC probe, no protection for ‘big shots’
PETALING JAYA, Dec 22 — The move of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in investigating and seizing Menara Ilham in the federal capital proved the system of enforcement in the country does not protect anyone involved in corruption, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
He stressed that all parties need to understand and give space to the investigating body to carry out its duties including investigation involving figures who are influential, hold titles or wield power.
Anwar said the justice and enforcement system especially relating to integrity must show example and and be bold to act against corrupted individuals
“Let MACC carry out its duties, regardless of position and status…if not (selective investigation), there will be criticism of only catching the small fish and leaving influential people untouched.
“Let there be investigation, so that leaders are not seen as being protected by big power. The responsibility of MACC is to carry out its duties and investigate,” he told reporters after performing Friday prayers at Kota Damansara Mosque here today.
