Sarawak Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud has today accused the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (MACC) investigation of himself for graft as “victimisation”, reserving his cooperation as he believes that they have been “naughty and dishonest”.
"They (MACC) don't deserve my cooperation because they have been naughty... and they have not been honest," he said when met after attending the BN supreme council meeting in Kuala Lumpur today.
However, he stressed that he is not afraid of being investigated by the anti-graft body.
"Let them victimise me... I am not scared," said the veteran BN politician.
When asked if he feels that the shadow of the corruption investigation made him a liability to BN, Taib has dismissed the matter.
"I am a liability? I won the last election with more than two-thirds majority and they do not care about this thing," responded the long-time Sarawak chief minister.
He also dismissed the MACC investigation as not having any impact on the support of the Sarawakians for him and the BN coalition.
"It is out of tune with the local sentiments," he argued.
