An MACC source said today that recent complaints and information received by the anti-graft agency had led to new leads being discovered, with investigations ongoing to determine the authenticity of this information.

The source said a “holistic investigation” is being held “to look into issues of abuse of power and governance in terms of financial compliance in the process of the Selangor government appointing the company”.

The company, Asia Mobility Technologies Sdn Bhd (Asia Mobiliti), came into the spotlight last week when questions were raised about possible preferential treatment and conflict of interest in the Selangor government’s selection of the company, with Badanbas Coach Sdn Bhd, for the transit project.

Asia Mobiliti’s CEO, M Ramachandran, is married to youth and sports minister Hannah Yeoh.

MACC deputy chief commissioner Ahmad Khusairi Yahaya confirmed the investigation when contacted, and urged the public against speculating on the case.

The investigation comes in the wake of MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki previously saying that the agency did not find any wrongdoing in the preliminary investigation. He said further investigations could be pursued based on new leads.

Yesterday, Selangor menteri besar Amirudin Shari said he is open to disclosing the complete details of Asia Mobiliti’s appointment and minutes of the meetings involving the Land Public Transport Agency.

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim had also said an investigation could be conducted into the award of the project if a report has been lodged.
