PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has taken documents related to the issue of land invasion from the state government in Raub, Pahang.
MACC Chief Commissioner Azam Baki said his team had taken the documents involved from the Raub Land and District Office, the Raub District Forestry Office and the Raub Ranger Office for further study and investigation.
“We need to take this matter seriously. We (MACC) can’t listen to just one party, ”Azam told Bernama in his office here.
In a similar development, Azam said that so far the MACC had called 18 people and recorded statements related to the issue.
“We called on those involved in cultivating the land in Raub for the MACC to get information on some related issues,” he said.
Previously, it was reported that Azam had instructed the Pahang MACC to obtain further information from the Raub Land and District Office and the Pahang Secretary of State’s Office regarding the invasion of state government lands.
On August 1, the Pahang government started saying that durian trees were being grown illegally on state government land.
Meanwhile, when asked by Mara Incorporated Sdn Bhd (Mara Inc) to comment on the latest developments related to the Dudley International House property purchase case, in Melbourne, Australia, Azam said the case had been completed.
Some people will be charged in the near future, he said briefly.
In 2015, Mara’s investment wing was embroiled in a controversy following the revelation of the Australian newspaper “The Age”, which claimed that it had spent millions of ringgit to buy a five-story apartment block, Dudley International House in Melbourne to a price higher than the market value.
