THE Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is in the final phase of completing investigation papers on alleged integrity issues involving five senior Majlis Amanah Rakyat (Mara) officers.

Deputy chief commissioner (operations) Ahmad Khusairi Yahaya said the investigation which was now 99% complete would later be handed over to the agency’s legal and prosecution division and deputy public prosecutor for further action.

“Apart from the five officers’ involvement, the MACC is also investigating the alleged misuse of Mara Corporation (Mara Corp) corporate credit cards,” he told a press conference after the launch of the Excel Programme on Corporate Liability and Organisational Anti-Corruption Plan.

According to him, the agency would focus on the term of reference for the use of the corporate credit card, whether it could be used for personal or official purposes in its investigation, and would make a conclusion on the investigation soon.

On February 5, the MACC confirmed receiving a report on alleged integrity issues involving several senior Mara officials who were being investigated internally by the agency before the MACC raided Mara, the Mara Corp headquarters as well as a corporate secretarial company, and seized several documents on February 7. – Bernama, February 17, 2022.
