 Give Utmost Priority to Missing Funds Probe

Just over two weeks ago, members of the public were shocked by a news report exposed in the social media of the arrest of three officers of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in connection with millions in US Dollars cash that were found missing while in the custody of the MACC.

The money was seized by the MACC in the course of investigations in the money laundering and criminal breach of trust case allegedly involving the former Director of the Malaysian External Intelligence Organisation (MEI0) Datuk Hasanah Abdul Hamid.

She was later given a discharge not amounting to aquittal by the court.

The media reported that both the MACC and the police are conducting investigations into the missing funds and the three were expected to be charged under the MACC and police Acts.

The police were also reported to be probing one of the three officers for illegal possession of drugs and firearms.

I urge the MACC particularly to give its utmost priority on its investigations into this case as it is the most serious act of breach of public trust by MACC officers.

I can well understand the strong public reaction to this case because we all look at an entity like the MACC as out last bastion of hope in the fight against corruption which is fast becoming another pandemic in the nation.

I also call on the MACC and PDRM to exercise due diligence and transparency in this internal investigation, this time involving MACC officers, and once sufficient evidence is uncovered for a prima facie case, please charge the three (3) officers with legal action without fear or favor.
