KUALA LUMPUR: The Federal Territories Ministry will call on the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) next week to obtain the latest developments on the investigation into the sale of 64 plots of government land by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL).
Federal Territories Minister Khalid Samad said all files required by MACC have been handed over to the commission three weeks ago, and that the ministry would continue to extend its cooperation over the matter.
“I will be in touch with the MACC to get the latest development on the case, perhaps next week once the Parliament process is done.
“All banking-related info have also been handed over to MACC for them to assess whether there have been any unusual transactions or otherwise.
“They will be studying transactions of bank accounts belonging to DBKL officers linked to the case,” he said.
Khalid was speaking to reporters after officiating the Bunker Hotel and Restaurant in Jalan Pahang, on Monday night. Also present were Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Seri Mazlan Lazim and Bunker Hotel owner, actor Fauzi Nawawi.
DAP’s Kepong Member of Parliament Lim Lip Eng had previously lodged a report to urge MACC to probe the sale of 64 plots of land, measuring 171 hectares at a cost of RM4.28 billion, to Yayasan Wilayah Persekutuan in 2013.
It was claimed that the sale of the land was to facilitate the construction of Federal Territory Affordable Homes (RUMAWIP) and meet the demand for mixed development projects such as offices, flats and others.
It was also claimed that from the 64 lots, only 30 were allocated for the RUMAWIP projects.
