Anthony’s lawyer Martin Tommy said someone from MACC had called him today to inform him of the cancellation.
“I do not know why it was withdrawn but I was told it was cancelled until further notice,” he said when contacted.
Earlier today, Anthony had gone to the Sabah MACC headquarters and was informed that a warrant had been issued against him to report to MACC in Putrajaya at 8am tomorrow.
Tommy said Anthony, a businessman, was already preparing to go to Kuala Lumpur when the call came in around noon.
Anthony had said he would give his full cooperation to MACC in its investigation.
In August this year, he had denied making a false claim of over RM42 million while undertaking a work contract with Universiti Malaysia Sabah.
He was quoted to have said that his company received a certificate confirming it had completed the contract from UMS in compliance with all rules and scope of work, as stipulated in the agreement.
The case had put Anthony under the microscope for almost two years although MACC had actually cleared him of any wrongdoing as far back as 2012.
