[UPDATED] MACC to follow up on DBKL probe into alleged misconduct

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission will reach out to City Hall tomorrow over allegations of misconduct related to an advisory board member in the awarding of a RM4 million project.

MACC Deputy Chief Commissioner (Operations) Datuk Seri Ahmad Khusairi Yahaya said today that City Hall is investigating the matter.

"We will wait and see the results of their probe. Tomorrow, my officers will contact City Hall's Integrity Unit," he said.

He said if elements of misconduct, abuse of power or corruption are found, MACC will open an investigation.

It was reported on Jan 28 that MACC was ready to assist City Hall in its investigation into an advisory board member's alleged misconduct related to the awarding of a RM4 million project.

Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said, however, that it has not opened any investigation.

Earlier that day, City Hall launched an investigation into an advisory board member's alleged misconduct.

Mayor Datuk Seri Maimunah Mohd Sharif said she is working with City Hall's integrity unit.

The issue centres on the alleged bypassing of governance processes linked to the procurement of the RM4 million project, which was not awarded via open tender.

According to allegations on social media, the board member holds a position in the company that was awarded the project.
