The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is prepared to investigate alleged excessive spending of RM2.1 billion by the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development (KKDW) if an official complaint is received, according to MACC chief commissioner Datuk Seri Abd Halim Aman. The commission only discovered the matter through media reports and has not yet received any official complaint concerning the allegations.
MACC commissioner Abd Halim stated that they will investigate the matter once it is officially reported to them. The allegation was reported by the media, where DAP advisor Lim Guan Eng urged the MACC to take action against the ministry. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Rural and Regional Development, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, had earlier stated that the ministry would not spend beyond the approved government allocations.
