Inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar said a letter will be sent to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to seek clarification on a report that MACC was investigating 60 police personnel allegedly involved in corruption and money-laundering.
He said he had yet to receive any report from the MACC with regard to the involvement of the police personnel, as reported byThe Malaysian Insider.
“I’m not aware of such a report and I do not know where The Malaysian Insider obtained the information. We have not been informed by the MACC of any probe being carried out on our officers. I will be writing to the MACC to find out,” he told reporters after presenting the National Medals of Sovereignty in Kota Kinabalu today.
Khalid was commenting on The Malaysian Insider’s report yesterday, claiming a six-month probe by the MACC found one of the police officers had RM20 million in savings in various bank accounts.
Meanwhile, 55 policemen from Sabah and one from Sarawak received the medals.
Sumiati Suara, the widow of the late Sergeant-Major Hamit Darman, who died while fighting against terrorists in Kampung Simunul, Semporna, on March 1 last year also received the medal.
Commenting on the award, Khalid said it was one of the government’s tokens of appreciation for the contributions and sacrifices of police officers and Malaysian security forces during Ops Daulat in Lahad Datu and Semporna.
On the murder of the assistant director of the Pahang Islamic Religious Department, Khalid said the police were still tracking down another suspect who was still at large.
He said the three suspects who were still being detained were hardcore followers of ‘Tuhan Harun’.
“We have given them the opportunity to surrender. But they think they can escape and we will see how far they can run,” he said.
