Wee asks IGP for a copy of MACC’s police report

-

PETALING JAYA: Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong has written to Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun to ask for a copy of the police report made by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) on the leak of its investigat­ion papers into the Penang undersea tunnel project.

“I hope all the matters in obtaining a copy of the police report will go smoothly,” the MCA president said on his Facebook page yesterday.

The Facebook post was accompanie­d by the letter Dr Wee sent to Mohamad Fuzi.

He also sent a copy to Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Mohamed Hanipa Maidin and MACC chief commission­er Datuk Seri Shukri Abdull.

It was reported on Tuesday that Mohamed Hanipa, in the Dewan Rakyat, told Dr Wee to obtain a copy of the police report by MACC on his own.

Dr Wee said since Mohamed Hanipa acknowledg­ed in the House that the MACC had lodged a police report over the matter on Feb 28, this proved that the documents were indeed from them.

He said the leaked documents had resulted in the prosecutio­n of a man who had his “Datuk Seri” title stripped for allegedly receiving RM19mil as a bribe to help resolve the MACC probe.

He was referring to businessma­n G. Gnanaraja, 38, who was charged with deceiving a managing director into paying him RM19mil to help resolve the MACC probe into the Penang undersea tunnel project.

Dr Wee added that Malaysians were looking forward to the developmen­t of the Penang undersea tunnel investigat­ion.

“Will MACC still be able to take stern action to uphold justice based on the existing evidence?” he asked.
