MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki said the investigation is ongoing and the anti-graft agency is also looking into the governance issues.
“We have to also look into several matters to be improved in the future, notably on the governance issue when it (the project) involves relatives,” he told reporters after opening an MACC programme at a hotel here today.
“I think the investigation will be wrapped up in a month or two.”
Asia Mobility Technologies Sdn Bhd (Asia Mobiliti) came into the spotlight in May 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 demand-responsive transit (DRT) project.
Asia Mobiliti’s CEO, M Ramachandran, is the husband of youth and sports minister Hannah Yeoh.
At that time, MACC said it was investigating new leads into the contract, and Yeoh said she welcomed the probe as “Malaysia deserves nothing less than the truth”.
On a separate matter, Azam said his officers need more time to investigate the Human Resource Development Corporation (HRD Corp). The probe began early last month.
“We need to gather inputs from more parties. We are examining all the issues raised and none is left out,” he said.
“My officers have requested more time to review these issues, including the investment allegations.”
Last month, MACC investigation division senior director Hishamuddin Hashim said the investigation is focused on corruption, abuse of power, and misappropriation of funds.
The investigation was prompted by the 2024 Auditor-General’s Report, which raised issues such as a questionable RM120 million property deal and poor governance in HRD Corp’s investments of RM3.727 billion, resulting in unrealised losses of RM49.38 million from 29 investment transactions.
Among the other revelations by the A-G was that HRD Corp’s investment panel failed to report substantial investment activities to its board of directors.
The A-G also flagged a suspicious disbursement of training grants, totalling RM51.69 million, to 3,726 individuals who attended training multiple times under the Gerak Insan Gemilang scheme.
