Baja 3 probe: Fertiliser company MD released on MACC bail
ALOR STAR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in Kedah has released the managing director of a fertiliser supplier company who was remanded in connection with the delay in the distribution of Supplementary Compound Fertiliser supplies to padi farmers in the state.
Kedah's Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has released the managing director of a fertiliser supplier company, who was initially detained in connection with the delay in distributing Supplementary Compound Fertiliser to padi farmers. The 30-year-old suspect was held for four days before his release. According to MACC sources, the suspect must continue to report to the Kedah MACC office monthly and must appear if summoned to aid the investigation.
Kedah MACC director Datuk Nazli Rasyid Sulong confirmed the matter, stating the suspect was released on MACC bail. The MACC opened an investigation paper into the delayed distribution of Padi Fertiliser 3 (Baja 3) to farmers in Kedah after receiving a complaint from the Malaysian Padi Farmers Brotherhood Organisation (PeSAWAH) on August 26.
The delay in fertiliser supply has impacted farmers in the Muda Agricultural Development Authority (MADA) area, which spans 100,000 hectares.
