MACC to call Zafrul in Jana Wibawa probe

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) will call in former finance minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz to record his statement to facilitate investigations into the Jana Wibawa project.

MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki, in a statement, said Zafrul would be called in soon.  

Meanwhile, Azam confirmed that MACC had recorded former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin’s statement in the same investigation.
 
"Investigations are ongoing, and it is inappropriate for them to draw their own conclusions, regardless if they are called in as witnesses or suspects," he said.

Azam said according to Section 30(1)(a) MACC Act 2009, an MACC officer investigating an offence may order any person to attend before him for the purpose of being examined orally in relation to any matter which might, in his opinion, assist in the investigation.

"They should wait until the investigation is completed before commenting on the investigation by the enforcement body," he said.

It was reported yesterday that Muhyiddin was among those being investigated by MACC in relation to the project.

However, Muhyiddin was reported as saying that he was called in to give his statement and not as a suspect.
