KUCHING: There is no new evidence to reopen some of the high-profile cases over alleged corrupt practices in Sarawak, state Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) director Razim Mohd Noor said.
He said there is no point re-investigating the allegations if no new evidence is forthcoming.
Razim said some of the cases had been investigated by MACC a long time ago.
“But we have submitted the reports to Putrajaya and it’s up to them to decide,” he told reporters.
Earlier, he had announced details of a musical theatre, “Semarak Pertiwiku”, to educate the public on integrity and corruption issues.
On Wednesday, Razim had said the MACC headquarters was investigating some “big fish” for corruption.
Following that, Sarawak DAP chairman Chong Chieng Jen said in a statement the state Pakatan Harapan welcomed the move to investigate “high-profile individuals”.
Chong said he had personally submitted some documents related to alleged corrupt practices involving the state government to MACC earlier this year.
“We are glad that finally some action is being taken,” he said.
Razim said the MACC headquarters would be carrying out the investigations for the time being.
He declined to disclose the number of “big fish” being investigated.
On the musical, Razim said it would be a good platform to educate the public on issues relating to integrity and corruption.
The musical will be held at the Tun Ahmad Zaidi Adruce auditorium at the teachers’ training institute in Batu Lintang at 8pm from July 12 to 14.
Those interested may collect entry passes at the Sarawak MACC headquarters from next week. - FMT
