MACC chief commissioner Dzulkifli Ahmad said the agency was trying to complete its investigation as soon as possible so that the investigation papers could be submitted to the Attorney-General’s Chambers for further action.
He said the investigation, however, was not bound by any arrangement made by the government or FGV in restructuring the company.
“We are not bound (by the arrangement). Our investigation will follow the evidence because we are not only investigating Delima Oil Products (FGV subsidiary), but also six other issues.”
He was speaking to reporters after witnessing the taking of the corruption-free pledge by Pahang state government officials, led by Menteri Besar Adnan Yaakob at Wisma Sri Pahang here today.
Present were state secretary Muhammad Safian Ismail and MACC deputy chief commissioner (Operations) Azam Baki.
When asked whether MACC would call former FGV chairman Isa Samad to give his statement, Dzulkifli advised all quarters to be patient in waiting for the latest developments in the MACC investigation.
On whether it was better for Isa to go on leave and not join the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) pending the investigation, Dzulkifli said: “It is irrelevant.”
Yesterday, Prime Minister Najib Razak announced Isa’s appointment as acting chairman of SPAD after he voluntarily resigned as FGV chairman.
Sulaiman Mahbob was appointed as acting FGV chairman.
