MACC probing delayed Baja 3 fertiliser distribution in Kedah
The probe follows a complaint by Pesawah on Aug 26 about delays affecting a 100,000ha area under the Muda Agricultural Development Authority.
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has launched an investigation into allegations of delays in distributing Baja 3 compound fertiliser to paddy farmers in Kedah. The probe, prompted by a complaint from the Malaysian Farmers Association (Pesawah) on August 26, will examine potential criminal misconduct and governance shortcomings surrounding the distribution delay.
The probe follows a statement from Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, who directed the MACC to investigate and address the supply issues after receiving complaints from paddy farmers. MACC chief commissioner Abd Halim Aman confirmed that the probe is being conducted under Section 18 of the MACC Act 2009, and the agency has recorded a witness statement and gathered relevant documents.
