Its director Mohd Shahril Che Saad said the meeting, which was held yesterday, started at 3pm and lasted for about two hours.

“We have obtained some information related to the allegations and received good cooperation (from Idris).

“It’s more about gathering preliminary information related to the allegations. The information has also been sent to the MACC headquarters to be analysed and for further action,” he told reporters after the Melaka state-level MACC’s 54th anniversary celebration at the Al-Azim Mosque, here today.

Idris, a former Melaka chief minister, claimed recently that there were several Umno leaders in the state who had been monopolising economic projects and cheating the federal government regarding sand royalties.

He said this was what caused him to withdraw his support for the Melaka government and the caretaker chief minister Sulaiman Md Ali.
