PETALING JAYA: Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Azam Baki has reminded MACC’s investigating officers to stay fully focused as the agency intensifies its probe into alleged corruption involving a businessman and a former senior political secretary to the prime minister.
MACC detained Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s former senior political secretary, Shamsul Iskandar Akin, and businessman Albert Tei yesterday after Tei claimed he bribed Shamsul to recover funds that were allegedly distributed to Sabah assemblymen.
The duo were today remanded for six days, with Azam stating that they are being probed under Section 16 of the MACC Act, which covers the offences of soliciting, offering, accepting or giving bribes.
