KUANTAN:
The navy today confirmed that some of its personnel have been summoned by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) for questioning over a RM9 million construction contract at one of its bases.

Navy chief Abdul Rahman Ayob said MACC had also confiscated some documents, which is understood to involve a project carried out last year.

“We have extended our full cooperation in the investigation. Let MACC continue with its job and we will wait for the results of the investigation.

“The navy will not compromise with any of its members involved in wrongdoing and they should be aware of the action they will face,” he said after the commissioning of KD Sri Sabah and KD Sri Sarawak at the Tanjung Gelang naval base here today.

Rahman said he will wait for MACC to conclude its investigation before deciding to conduct an internal inquiry.

Yesterday, three suspects in a “procurement cartel” were arrested by Johor MACC at the agency’s office at about 6pm.

It is understood that the arrests were in connection with false claims and procurement from 13 suppliers for construction at the camp.
