MACC chief Dzulkifli Ahmad finally broke his silence on the alleged extramarital affair, saying he will not allow these “dirty tactics” to sidetrack him from his fight against graft.
Dzulkifli told TV3 that the attacks were due to the MACC’s aggressive approach since early this year to tackle cases of corruption and abuse of power.
“These dirty tactics are meant to smear my image and reputation as MACC commissioner and to bring down the credibility of the MACC in our efforts to ensure that this country is free from corruption and abuse of power,” he said without going into details of the dirty tactics.
He said he will not bow down to such attacks and will continue fighting graft.
“We are going to continue carrying out our duties as best as we can. Such allegations will not affect us,” he told TV3.
He said he has also contacted Inspector-General of Police Mohamad Fuzi Harun about the matter.
“I will leave it to the police to take necessary action,” said Dzulkifli.
“I want to stress that MACC and its officers are not perturbed by all these dirty tactics.”
Dzulkifli was referring to a three-minute video which surfaced last week alleging that a couple had divorced on September 28 at the Ulu Klang lower shariah court due to the woman’s alleged affair with him.
He, however, did not not say if the contents of the video were true or not.
The woman at the centre of the allegations came out earlier to say she that she will accept the blame but will not reveal the real reason behind her divorce. She also said she had been under pressure to clear her name.
She also apologised to Dzulkifli and his family in a Facebook post.
A police report on the video was lodged by a sales executive last week and today, Fuzi said police are investigating the case for allegedly enticing a married woman with the intent of having illicit intercourse.
Those found guilty face up to two years’ jail, a fine, or both.
“Give us time to investigate this matter. It is not easy for us to detect (who is responsible), but we are trying hard to find out who it is,” he had said. – October 17, 2017.

You're criminal in the eyes of civil law and Islamic law. If hudud is here, you should be stoned to death in public.
I'm eager to hear comment from all PAS, Mufti, Ustaz and Ustazah nationwide.

Dzulkifli’s virtual admission to committing the offence through this statement, coupled with the woman having owned up to the extra-marital affair, have left law-enforcer with no alternative but to arrest Dzulkifli for breach of Section 498 of the Penal Code for enticing or taking away a married woman.
So, what are you waiting for, IGP Fuzi Harun? The heavy burden of upholding the rule of law now rests heavily on your shoulders, for a further relapse in nabbing the nation’s chief graft buster, after the world-renowned failure to bring the Prime Minister to book on the 1MDB scandal, will precipitate the collapse of public morals and deal a fatal blow to the rule of law in the country.
