PUTRAJAYA: Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki yesterday confirmed that the agency has recorded the statement from Perlis Menteri Besar Mohd Shukri Ramli to facilitate its investigations into alleged abuse of power.
Azam also confirmed that Mohd Shukri had earlier presented himself at the MACC headquarters here at 9.50 am to have his statement recorded.
Several days ago, MACC said it was investigating a senior leader in the northern region on suspicion of appointing several companies believed to be linked to him for supply projects valued at about RM300,000.
MACC sources said the leader is also suspected of assigning various companies for road repair and maintenance tasks, involving an allocation of almost RM1 million from the Menteri Besar’s office. These companies are believed to be connected to his son.
Last week, media reported that Mohd Shukri’s son was among six people arrested by the MACC to assist in investigations into a case of producing falsified documents to make RM600,000 in claims since 2022. – BERNAMA
