Tunku Aziz slams video of MACC officer
KUALA LUMPUR: People who are feeling the heat from the tough stand taken by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to fight graft have resorted to dirty tactics to dereputagraftadvisory stroy the tion of the busters.
MACC board chairm n Tunku Abdul Aziz Tunku Ibrahim said the dissemination of a video linking a senior MACC officer and a woman on social media was uncalled for as it was an invasion of privacy.
“They are starting to feel the heat, and the latest video scandal has to do with the effort by the commission to fight corruption.
“I think this is the work of the opposition. They are scared now.
“Previously, they were complaining that only ‘ikan bilis’ were getting caught. But, now that the ‘big fish’ are being caught regularly, they are starting to get jumpy.
“They went as far as possible, trying to destroy the MACC officer, who has done a great job,” he said yesterday.
He said this was unacceptable as the woman had just been through a divorce.
Tunku Abdul Aziz said such acts h d become common in society and that it was un-Malay-sian behaviour.
“We had never behaved as such and we never used this kind of tactic to bring someone down. What are these people trying to do? Minding other people’s business and making accusation is unacceptable.
“If we are sincere in combating corruption, let him and MACC do their job. We hate corruption, so we should support him and not drag him into the mud.”
He said action should be taken against the person who circulated the video.
