Anti-corruption officers have reportedly seized several
documents from the offices of Selangor’s Menteri Besar Incorporated after
allegations surfaced last month about demands for money and women in contract
negotiations.
A team from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission visited
the MBI office in Shah Alam on Wednesday and interviewed two high-ranking
officers.
MACC investigations division director Azam Baki confirmed
with Malay Mail Online that the team were carrying out investigations after a
report was lodged by PKR Secretary-General Rafizi Ramli.
Asked if Menteri Besar Azmin Ali would be questioned, Azam
said: “We do not, at this point, think it is necessary.”
The allegations about money and women arose after a
screenshot of Rafizi’s conversation in a text messaging chat group was leaked
and made its rounds. PKR president Wan Azizah Wan Ismail ordered that a report
be lodged with MACC.
The leaked conversation had resulted in an exchange of words
between Rafizi and Azmin.
Earlier this week Rafizi said he had also submitted
information to substantiate his claims, after he had received complaints about
the state government and a person involved with MACC.
Menteri Besar Incorporated administers the assets and
business activities of the Selangor state government, in property development,
education, tourism, mining, media, broadcasting, hotels and golf clubs.
Azmin is chairman of MBI’s board.
