MACC has come under fire from Gerakan following its chief commissioner's action naming the whistleblower in the Sabah corruption scandal.
Gerakan president Dominic Lau, in a statement, "strongly condemned" the anti-graft agency for leaking the whistleblower's identity and called MACC not to be a political tool.
"If MACC really practises transparency, why do they reveal (the name of whistleblowers) only in certain cases?
"If the names of informers in a certain case can be leaked out, why hasn't the same thing happened in the case of former prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob?
"The principle of justice requires transparency and consistency in every case regardless of the individuals involved or their political positions," he said.
Lau also criticised the MACC for allegedly practising selective enforcement when handling cases that involved politicians.
On Tuesday (March 11), former MACC chief commissioner Latheefa Koya identified the whistleblower only as “Albert”, withholding his full name to protect him.
Hours later, her successor Azam Baki disclosed his surname to the media at a press conference in Kota Kinabalu.
Since November, the whistleblower has revealed damning videos and WhatsApp messages of Sabah assemblypersons, whom he had bribed in exchange for mineral exploration licences. - Mkini
