GEORGE TOWN: The Penang government is giving full space to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission to carry out its investigation into allegations of abuse of power involving a senior state official, chief minister Chow Kon Yeow said today.
He said MACC had confirmed that investigations were under way, and the state government would not interfere or conduct its own internal probe. “We are not investigators, but we will provide full cooperation,” he told reporters.
Chow said the senior officer was continuing to perform his duties as usual pending the results of the investigation. Asked whether the state government had summoned the officer for further explanations, Chow said it was unnecessary as the government was satisfied with the explanations provided to the state assembly in November.
