MALAYSIAN Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Latheefa Koya today refused to comment on speculations that she has resigned from her post.

When approached by reporters this afternoon, she said: “I am here for the court case. No comment on that.”

She said this outside the courtroom where she testified at Najib Razak’s SRC International trial.

TV3’s Buletin Utama quoted a source later in the evening that Latheefa had tendered her resignation.

No reasons were given but it is speculated that she has stepped down due to the change of government in Putrajaya.

Latheefa was appointed by the previous Pakatan Harapan government under Dr Mahathir Mohamad for a two-year term beginning June 1, 2019 to May 31, 2021. – March 5, 2020.
