KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has urged all parties to refrain from speculating on the investigation into alleged corruption in foreign worker recruitment deals.
MACC Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki asked the public to give the agency time to complete its probe.
"MACC is still investigating two Human Resources Ministry officers. They have been released from remand.
"MACC asks all parties to give us time to complete the investigation and to refrain from speculating."
On April 13, two aides of Human Resources Minister V. Sivakumar and a recruitment agent were arrested by the MACC in connection with a case involving the quota for foreign worker recruitment, which is under the purview of the Human Resources Ministry.
A day later, MACC arrested Sivakumar's private secretary.
Sivakumar has suspended the three suspects. They were released from remand on Monday.
Sivakumar had denied claims that MACC had searched his office and home as part of the investigation.
It was reported that MACC did not find any evidence during the raids.
