MASS Rapid Transit Corporation Sdn Bhd (MRT Corp) today clarified that a Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) probe into allegations of corruption involving two engineering firms linked to the MRT project had nothing to do with the company or its employees.

MRT Corp, in a statement today said that it was, however, ready to fully cooperate with the authorities, if the need arises.

The company also reminded business partners, contractors and sub-contractors that it would not tolerate any form of corruption in its project ecosystem.

“Appropriate action, such as contract termination and/or blacklisting, will be taken against any company found to be involved in corruption,” the statement read.

It was reported yesterday that MACC had detained three directors and two former directors of engineering companies to assist in a bribery probe linked to the MRT project, worth more than RM650 million. – Bernama, March 23, 2022.
