NATURAL Resources, Environment and Climate Change Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad today denied the claim that an officer from his ministry was called up by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to assist in its investigation.

He also dismissed the allegation that he had sacked the officer over the alleged probe.

“So far, none of my officers have been called up by the MACC,” he said in a statement.

Nik Nazmi, however, said he and his officers are ready to give full cooperation to the authorities should there be an investigation.

Yesterday, a news portal claimed that Nik Nazmi and Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil had sacked their respective officers over the alleged probe. – Bernama, May 13, 2023.
