Latheefa: No need to meet me, just file complaints with MACC

MACC chief Latheefa Koya today urged anyone with relevant information or complaints to take their case up with the anti-graft commission rather than meet her.

“If they are complaints and people who have any information or complaints, they are most welcome to bring in and give to us, we will send (the information) to our investigation department to start (investigations).

“So actually it’s not for the chief commissioner to meet the complainants directly.

“Rather, we will definitely process the information and see whether (it is) fit for opening an investigation or (for) just verifying the information,” she said when asked about Bandar Kuching MP Dr Kelvin Yii’s request for a one-on-one meeting.

In a Twitter post later, Latheefa clarified that she did not mean that she will not meet Yii.

"I am misquoted here. I did not say I will not meet Bandar Kuching MP. 

"I am open to meet anyone on matters of importance," she said.

  The DAP lawmaker had said that he intends to urge Latheefa to reopen investigations into Sarawak governor Abdul Taib Mahmud (below). 

Pressed if the commission would indeed probe Taib, the MACC chief answered that she could not comment on an “ongoing investigation”.

She did, however, elaborate slightly on the anti-graft agency’s ongoing probe into unnamed “high-profile” personalities from the resource-rich state.

“They (the cases) could be high-profile in many senses, in many ways. They could be high-profile because of the individual involved, the sheer amount involved and its impact.

“If it involves the environment (or) health, that would be high-profile as well. It really depends on the type of cases,” she said.

Latheefa was speaking to the media after opening the Regional Workshop on Promoting Beneficial Ownership Transparency, which is being held by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in Kuala Lumpur over the next two days.
