Anwar to MACC: Corrupt officials an open secret

PETALING JAYA: Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim has invited officials of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission to pay him a visit if it needs help investigating the “open secret” of corrupt government officials.

Speaking to the media after a constituency event in Port Dickson earlier today, he said the agency was already aware of dozens of reports but has yet to act on them.

“I want to ask what has happened to the reports regarding ministers living lavishly and spending millions … trying to bribe people,” he said. “They (MACC) already know of this information and police reports have been made…. (but) no action has been taken.

“This is an open secret. If MACC don’t know about this open secret, I invite them to visit me so I can discuss this with them. We have to stop this culture… That corruption exists only among the opposition”.

Earlier today MACC had urged Sekijang MP Natrah Ismail to lodge a report with them after she claimed she was offered benefits to throw her support behind the Perikatan Nasional government.

Anwar, who is PKR president and chairman of Pakatan Harapan, also criticised former Barisan Nasional secretary general Annuar Musa for suggesting that Umno’s leadership was influenced by Anwar. He said Annuar was desperate, and was merely trying to “protect his position” as the federal territories minister.

Annuar’s statement came after Anwar and Barisan Nasional chairman and Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi issued similar statements on Thursday urging the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to call for a meeting of Parliament. (However, BN members MCA, MIC and PBRS said the coalition had never supported any such statement.)

In response, Anwar said: “He seems desperate. I think his politics is just to protect his ministerial position. He doesn’t care about his party and he doesn’t care if he is telling the truth or not.” - FMT
