The MACC is going to seek more information from Court of Appeal Judge Hamid Sultan Abu Backer over his affidavitclaiming that the judiciary was involved in swindling public funds.
Its deputy chief commissioner of operations, Azam Baki, told Malaysiakini that the commission will contact the judge to arrange a meeting with him soon.
"MACC can launch an investigation (into the claims) if there are elements of corruption and power abuse (that fall under) our MACC Act 2009.
"We will contact the judge to get more information in the near future," he said when contacted today.
It was reported that Hamid claimed that certain members of the judiciary have been aiding private parties to defraud the government.
He said this in an affidavit filed yesterday supporting lawyer Sangeet Kaur Deo's application to declare that the chief justice had failed to defend the integrity and credibility of the judiciary over two alleged incidents of judicial interference. - Mkini
