PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) raided V Sivakumar’s home and office yesterday after taking the human resources minister’s statement.
According to Utusan Malaysia, MACC officers conducted the raid and searched through Sivakumar’s home and office right after the minister gave his statement to the MACC yesterday.
The Malay language daily also reported that the minister spent more than nine hours at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya.
Yesterday, MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki confirmed that the anti-graft agency had taken Sivakumar’s statement following the arrests of a few of his officers in connection with a case involving the recruitment of foreign workers.
Sivakumar had said he was ready to cooperate with the authorities over the matter and urged the public not to make any speculations about the arrests. He said the arrests were part of the investigation process once a complaint was lodged with MACC.
The commission recently arrested two of Sivakumar’s senior officers in connection with matters involving the recruitment of foreign workers.
Sivakumar’s private secretary was arrested on Friday in an investigation into the approval of migrant worker quotas. - FMT
