THE Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) received 11 complaints relating to corruption and abuse of power since campaigning for the 15th general election began last Saturday.

Chief commisioner Azam Baki said the information was received through its 24-hour operations room and it will be studied and scrutinised before being investigated under the MACC Act 2009.

“The complaints were received during the face-to-face campaign and through the media.

“Some information need to be verified as some of the things channelled could have been hearsay,” he said.

He said this when met by reporters after the Kelantan investiture ceremony in conjunction with the 53rd Birthday of the Sultan of Kelantan Sultan Muhammad V at Istana Balai Besar in Kota Baru today.

On November 5, MACC launched an operations room nationwide to make it easier for the public to channel information and complaints related to acts of corruption and abuse of power in the polls. – Bernama, November 12, 2022.
