Perak MACC director Fauzi Mohamad said they included officers from the Perak State Development Corporation (PKNP) and the state Lands and Mines Office as well as former Perak executive council members.

“We have also recorded a statement from a member of PKNP’s board of directors, who is also a former state legal adviser.

“MACC will record a statement from another member of PKNP’s board of directors, who also attended the meeting to discuss matters pertaining to the sale of PKNP land today,” he said.

Fauzi said MACC was expected to record the statement of another important witness soon before the investigation file could be submitted to the deputy public prosecutor for study and a decision.

He said no arrests had been made so far and investigations into the case were being carried out under Section 23 of the MACC Act 2009.

It was reported that Perak MACC would call several people to assist in its investigation into the alleged sale of land for the building of an international airport in Seri Iskandar.

Prior to this, Fauzi was reported to have said that the investigation was conducted after receiving an official complaint from Manjoi assemblyman Asmuni Awi on April 5.

Menteri besar Saarani Mohamad reportedly said the piece of land had been sold to a private company during the administration of the state government by Pakatan Harapan.

Under the previous Barisan National state government, the land had been reserved for PKNP for the construction of an international airport.
