Chairman of the body, Mohd Fadzil Ibrahim said the committee suspected the individuals concerned had been bribed to compromise on the rights and interests of the settlers involved.
“The land belonging to the settlers had been sold to a developer in the settlement agreement made by the Selangor government and lawyer from a legal firm, as well as representatives from the settlers and the former developer.
“However, we, the settlers, suspect that several individuals who signed the agreement had been bribed and want the matter to be investigated,” he told reporters when met outside the Selangor MACC headquarters here today.
Fadzil claimed he had the documents to prove his claim, but declined to reveal them. He said he would only provide the information and documents to MACC.
The sale of the 880-hectare piece of land in Ijok to private developers at a price of RM1.18 billion had created some controversy and was questioned by many quarters, including the settlers themselves.
MACC chief commissioner Dzulkifli Ahmad was reported to have said that investigations into the issue was focused on the payment of about RM200 million to five companies.
