FORMER education minister Mahdzir Khalid is at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission headquarters for questioning in relation to a solar hybrid project in Sarawak.

He arrived in a white Mercedes-Benz at 9.45am.

MACC sources had told The Malaysian Insight that Mahdzir was expected to be detained overnight before being charged tomorrow.

He was questioned by the anti-graft agency last month over the award of the contract for the solar project for schools in Sarawak’s interior.

The Umno vice-president will be the third individual charged over the project, after former prime minister Najib Razak’s wife, Rosmah Mansor, and her former aide, Rizal Mansor, were charged separately earlier this month.

It was reported that there were irregularities in the award of the contract for the RM2.5 billion project on the direct orders of a former senior national leader. – November 29, 2018.
