Their spokesman, Mohd Fadzil Ibrahim, said all the settlers gave their statements for three hours from 3.30pm after attending a briefing on the case at a hotel here.

“We hope the MACC will carry out a transparent investigation so that the Ijok land issue can be resolved immediately,” he told reporters here today.
