  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR: The opposition Democratic Action Party (DAP) has called on the police and Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to provide an update on investigations into a suspected \"corporate mafia\" operation. DAP's national chairman, Gobind Singh Deo, stated that the Cabinet ordered a comprehensive investigation into the matter in March. Deo emphasized that sufficient time has elapsed since then for the authorities to examine the allegations and conduct the necessary investigations. He called this a matter of major public interest, with international implications and the potential to impact market confidence, making it a national issue that demands immediate and firm action.\n\nDeo alleged that several individuals were orchestrating operations linked to the scheme. He stressed the importance for authorities to disclose the actions taken so far and the subsequent steps. He urged the Inspector-General of Police and MACC chief commissioner to reveal whether individuals like Victor Chin, who might assist in investigations, have been enlisted. Malaysians have the right to know the current status of the matter and the concrete steps that will be taken to address it, Gobind stated.\n\nHe urged the Inspector-General of Police and MACC chief commissioner to clarify their position without delay and detail how they intend to resolve the matter.",
