PETALING JAYA, May 17 ― The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is ready to help Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) to probe allegations that the recent flash floods are the result of corruption.

Deputy Chief Commissioner (Prevention) Datuk Seri Mustafar Ali said they would only conduct a probe if there were weaknesses in the management system  and the standard operating procedures (SOPs).

“We have to study the matter as it may involve other agencies and need the cooperation of all parties.

“The MACC will only take action if there are aspects of corruption,” he said after signing the Corporate Integrity Pledge between the Malaysian Qualification Agency (MQA) and the MACC, here today.

The signing ceremony was witnessed by Deputy Minister of Higher Education Datuk Mary Yap Kain Ching and MQA chairman Prof Emeritus Tan Sri Dr Abu Hassan Othman.

He was commenting on the willingness of DBKL Planning Executive Director Datuk Mohd Najib Mohd to cooperate with the MACC over allegations of corruption in mega projects, thus leading to flash floods.

Mustafar declined to comment further on the issue and did not reveal whether the MACC received any reports on the flash floods from DBKL or not.

On Saturday, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the government would probe allegations of corruption in mega projects, to determine whether they led to flash floods. ― Bernama
