NEW DELHI, Dec 21 — All Barisan Nasional (BN) candidates for the next general election must be vetted and cleared by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), said Datuk Seri Najib Razak today.
The Star Online quoted the prime minister, who is also BN chairman, as saying it was standard procedure for BN to send the name of every candidate to the MACC for vetting.
The news portal also reported Najib (picture) as saying it was BN’s stand that every candidate must pass the vetting process.
It is understood that the prime minister’s statement is in response to a proposal by the Consultation and Corruption Prevention Panel, who suggested that all political parties submit their list of candidates for vetting by MACC.
