The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has set up a special team to re-evaluate allegations of RM350,000 corruption involving a senior MACC officer. MACC Chief Commissioner Datuk Seri Abd Halim Aman announced the formation of the team following recent social media discussions and the resurgence of the issue. The commission stated that this move is aimed at maintaining its integrity and preserving public trust in the anti-corruption institution.
In 2018, the MACC investigated the matter, but it was closed without finding any wrongdoing. The commission warned against speculations and unverified news related to the case. Malaysian Corruption Watch (MCW) had previously called for immediate action from the MACC and the Anti-Corruption Advisory Board (ACAB) regarding the allegations of accepting a bribe of about RM350,000 from a senior MACC officer.
The allegations pertain to an incident on November 13, 2017, and have been widely discussed on social media since Friday, though no official confirmation of the investigation's status has been released.
