MACC defers Isa Samad’s questioning due to eye surgery
The agency will resume taking the former Felda chairman’s statements once he has recovered, says MACC chief Abd Halim Aman.
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has rescheduled its questioning of former Felda chairman Isa Samad due to his recent hospitalisation for eye surgery, according to chief commissioner Abd Halim Aman. Halim announced that the MACC had completed its investigation into allegations of irregularities and misappropriation related to the distribution of flood relief and fertiliser to paddy farmers in Kedah, and submitted a report to the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC).
The AGC is expected to recommend charges against two individuals for submitting false claims under the MACC Act 2009 if they consent to the MACC's proposal.
