KUCHING: A special task force, involving the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), Election Commission (EC) and the police, will be formed to monitor power abuse and corruption during the 14th general election (GE14).

MACC deputy chief commissioner (operations) Azam Baki said the task force would monitor and take action on offences stipulated under the Election Act 1954.

“For this coming election, MACC will form a task force to monitor the election.

“We will monitor issues raised by any parties on alleged corruption and power abuse,” he told a media conference here today after the acceptance of duty by the new Sarawak MACC director, Razim Mohd Noor.

In another development, Azam said individuals from a few more companies would be called in for the probe into the alleged land scandal in Mukim Ijok, Selangor.

“We need more time because the MACC officers are conducting a forensic analysis of several accounts of the companies concerned.

“We have called the accountants and directors of five companies, but no arrests have been made yet,” he said.
