KEDAH Menteri Besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor was at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters in Putrajaya today for about three hours, believed to be in connection with allegations of corruption relating to the Kedah Football Association (KFA).

Sanusi, who arrived at 8.30am, was seen leaving the MACC building at about 11.37am.

MACC Investigation Division senior director Hishamuddin Hashim confirmed that the anti-graft agency had taken Sanusi’s statement today.

On Tuesday, the MACC said it would summon the PAS leader to seek an explanation regarding the alleged corruption of more than RM6 million linked to KFA.

The media previously reported that the investigation was carried out after the MACC received a report from a contractor who claimed they were promised a project in Kedah if they channelled funds into the football association’s bank account.

On January 5, it was reported that the MACC had obtained a three-day remand order against four individuals aged between 40 and 60 years old, including the KFA chief executive officer, to assist in the investigation into a case involving soliciting and accepting bribes of more than RM6 million in 2020. – Bernama, January 11, 2024.
