MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki said that under the MACC Act 2009, it is the responsibility of anyone offered a bribe to quickly report the offence so that further action can be taken.
“I cannot announce what action can be taken (if he fails to report). We are still waiting for his report. There are various possibilities (for action to be taken, like summoning to MACC).
“Since he has mentioned the alleged bribery (offer) in the august house, he is obliged to make a report under Section 25 of the Act.
“He has to come to the MACC’s office. Don’t expect MACC to bring him to the office,” he told reporters after attending an anti-corruption talk with Negeri Sembilan executive councillors and assemblymen, including menteri besar Aminuddin Harun here today.
On the case of former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin’s son-in-law, Adlan Berhan, Azam said MACC had not discussed with the Attorney-General’s Chambers on the possibility of charging him in absentia.
He had earlier said MACC was ready to charge Adlan with criminal breach of trust, but Adlan cannot be located and is believed to be still overseas.
Azam also said MACC had not received any corruption reports against the current Negeri Sembilan exco members and assemblymen.
