No graft elements found in KWAP eFishery probe so far
MACC needs the help of Singaporean and Indonesian authorities to record the statements of several people and obtain certain documents.
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is nearing completion of its investigation into the Retirement Fund Incorporated's (KWAP) RM163.4 million investment in Indonesian aquaculture firm eFishery, according to chief commissioner Datuk Seri Abd Halim Aman. However, the full findings will not be released until the investigators obtain financial information and documents from overseas banks, particularly those based in Singapore and Indonesia.
Thus far, 19 individuals, including KWAP officers, Finance Ministry officials, and Khazanah representatives, have been interviewed and their statements recorded. No arrests have been made yet, but the investigation remains ongoing. Investigators are also working to gather statements from witnesses located overseas. MACC officials stated that while there should be no issues with the process, the legal procedures for obtaining Mutual Legal Assistance from other countries may cause delays.
