Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry secretary-general Isham Ishak (above) has claimed that he was merely called in by the MACC to assist with an investigation.
He, however, did not elaborate on the matter when questioned by reporters following news he had been summoned by the anti-graft body.
“Yes, it is true I was called in by the MACC, (but) my role was to assist an investigation. There is a difference between being investigated and helping an investigation.
“I have given all the necessary information (to the MACC),” he said during a press conference in Putrajaya today.
Isham said he came forward to clear his name and that of his family from any unfounded accusations.
“Slander on abuse of power and corruption, if I was indeed guilty, I would have been charged in court today,” he added.
It was reported yesterday that Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Mohammadin Ketapi confirmed the MACC had called Isham in to give his statement yesterday and Tuesday night.
Mohammadin also did not provide any details on the reason the ministry secretary-general was summoned. - Mkini
