The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has concluded its probe into the delayed fertilizer supply in Kedah, with two individuals facing potential charges soon. Chief Commissioner Datuk Seri Abd Halim Aman announced that the charges will be filed under Section 18 of the MACC Act 2009, which deals with misappropriation and false documents.
The MACC's investigation into the issue of fertilizer distribution to farmers and paddy planters in Kedah has been completed, and the case will be referred to the Attorney General for further action. However, Abd Halim did not disclose the identities of the individuals to be charged. The MACC initiated the investigation on September 7 following a complaint from the Malaysian Paddy Farmers Brotherhood Organisation (PeSAWAH) on August 26.
The delay in the supply of Additional Compound Fertiliser, or Paddy Fertiliser 3, to Kedah paddy farmers affected an area of 100,000 hectares under the Muda Agricultural Development Authority (MADA).
