Gobind urges police, MACC to disclose status of ‘corporate mafia’ probe

DAP chairman Gobind Singh Deo has urged Malaysian authorities to provide updates on the investigation into the so-called corporate mafia, according to a statement. The inquiry, directed by the Cabinet in March, has reportedly entered a phase where both the police and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) should have sufficient time to delve into the allegations, Gobind stated.

He specifically requested Inspector-General of Police Khalid Ismail and MACC chief commissioner Abd Halim Aman to disclose whether key figures, like businessman Victor Chin, have been summoned to aid their investigation. Chin had previously denied involvement with the corporate mafia in March. Despite this, MMAG Holdings Bhd executive director Chin maintains that while he is a victim of such tactics, he is not the perpetrator.

Gobind emphasized that Malaysians deserve transparency regarding the probe's status and the forthcoming actions. He also sought clarification on when the investigation might conclude, stressing that this issue has national significance and warrants immediate attention due to its potential impact on market confidence.
