SPRM salah guna kuasa panggil bekas menteri, keluarga, dakwa Waytha
Presiden Parti Kemajuan Malaysia berkata Seksyen 36 Akta SPRM tidak memberi kuasa kepada pesuruhjaya untuk mewajibkan seseorang hadir bagi tujuan menyampaikan notis.
P Waytha Moorthy, the president of the Malaysian Progressive Party, accused the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Agency (SPRM) of misusing its powers by calling a former minister to the agency's headquarters to deliver a notice regarding asset declarations. He argued that Section 36 of the SPRM Act does not grant the authority to compel someone to attend for the purpose of delivering such notices.
According to Moorthy, Section 36 only requires the individual concerned to provide the necessary information in the notice. The former minister, M Saravanan and his family, including his 12-year-old son, were summoned to the SPRM headquarters in Putrajaya to deliver this notice. Saravanan questioned the decision of the SPRM to call his 12-year-old son to receive the asset declaration notice, arguing that such a young child should not be subjected to such stress and anxiety.
