The anti-graft agency is investigating claims of abuse of power and corruption involving e-waste management.

PETALING JAYA: The natural resources and environmental sustainability ministry is fully committed to assisting the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in its investigations into two top environment department officers, says its minister Arthur Joseph Kurup.

Kurup said the ministry is aware that MACC had arrested the duo, and stressed that the ministry does not tolerate any abuse of power, misappropriation, or corruption involving its personnel, reported Bernama.

“I have directed the ministry’s secretary-general, Ching Thoo Kim, to ensure that all of the department’s operations are not disrupted. Public services and environmental monitoring should remain a top priority,” he said in a statement.
