IPOH: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has obtained documents on the sale of land for the construction of an international airport in Seri Iskandar, from several relevant departments.
Perak MACC director Datuk Mohd Fauzi Mohamad when contacted today said so far, MACC has yet to make any arrests nor summoned any individual in relation to the matter.
"We have yet to summon anyone and so far no arrests have been made. We are currently reviewing documents obtained from the relevant departments.
"We are still collecting evidence and testimonies," he said adding that the case is being investigated under Section 23 of the MACC Act 2009.
On March 31, Saarani confirmed that a plot of land, which was previously identified as the location for a new international airport in Seri Iskandar, had been sold to a private company.
The Kota Tampan assemblyman said the sale of the land was conducted during the previous Pakatan Harapan (PH) administration.
Last Tuesday, four former Perak State Executive Councillors during the PH administration, namely Pasir Pinji Assemblyman Howard Lee Chuan How; Manjoi Assemblyman Datuk Asmuni Awi; Sungai Rapat Assemblyman Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin, and Simpang Pulai Assemblyman Tan Kar Hing lodged a report with the MACC on the issue.
