THE Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission will request for mutual legal assistance from the UK to facilitate its investigation into Felda Investment Corporation’s London hotel purchase.

MACC chief commissioner Dzulkifli Ahmad said an application would be made through the Attorney-General’s Chambers.

“We have been in communication and will apply for mutual legal assistance from the UK to obtain the necessary evidence to complete the investigation,” he said, adding that the investigation was in its final stage.

He was sepaking at an anti-corruption and power abuse programme, Perhimpunan Mahasiswa Anak Muda Memerangi Rasuah dan Salah Guna Kuasa (Pemarah) Borneo 3.0, at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak in Kota Samarahan today.

On the list of ministries with the highest number of complaints on corruption and abuse of power, Dzulkifli said he would discuss the matter with the chief secretary to the government before action was taken. – Bernama, November 18, 2017.
