MACC to recommend charges against former Felda officials over KLVC
KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) will recommend that two former senior Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) officials be charged over alleged irregularities involving the Kuala Lumpur Vertical City (KLVC) development.
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is set to recommend charges against two former senior officials from the Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) in connection with the Kuala Lumpur Vertical City (KLVC) development. The two men, a former Felda director-general in his 60s with the title of Datuk and a former Felda Investment Corporation (FIC) chief executive officer, were arrested on September 6 as part of an investigation into alleged irregularities involving Felda and FIC.
MACC chief commissioner Datuk Seri Abd Halim Aman confirmed that investigations into the KLVC case have been completed, and statements were recorded from 30 witnesses, including board members, management personnel from Felda and FIC, legal advisers, valuers, and law firm representatives. The commission will seek the Attorney-General's consent to proceed with prosecution, with charges potentially being filed in court the following week if consent is obtained.
The investigation into the KLVC development is one of MACC's priorities in its broader inquiry into alleged irregularities involving Felda and FIC. The probe is also seeking documents held overseas, particularly in the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia.
