Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail will submit the name of a National Registration Department officer accused of requesting a bribe from a citizenship applicant to MACC chief Azam Baki.
The minister said he received a complaint claiming the officer contacted the applicant to ask for money in return for informing the person that the application has been approved.
"Today I will submit the name to Azam to assist MACC's investigation," he said during a post-cabinet meeting press conference in Putrajaya today.
Saifuddin said the action followed Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's statement on Monday that a graft case involving the NRD and citizenship approvals had been brought to his attention.
Quizzed if internal action had been taken against the officer, Saifuddin said more information would be revealed after the officer’s name is submitted.
