September 30, 2023
Azam said, his side is still waiting for further decisions from the TPR
KAJANG: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has submitted an investigation paper to the Deputy Public Prosecutor (TPR) in the case of bribery in the recruitment of foreign workers involving a senior official of the Minister of Human Resources, V Sivakumar.
However, MACC Chief Commissioner, Tan Sri Azam Baki said, his side is still waiting for a further decision from the TPR.
"The case has been submitted to the TPR and we are still waiting for their decision.
"We have completed the investigation in the last two months and we are still waiting for the TPR," he told reporters after the MACC Shooting Program with the Media at the Malaysian Prison College Target Range here on Saturday.
Last May, the media reported that Sivakumar confirmed that five of his officers who were investigated by the MACC had their contracts terminated.
Sivakumar reportedly said that the dismissal of five of his officers was done to ensure that the ministry could function smoothly.
Last April, the MACC arrested two senior officers of Sivakumar in connection with a corruption issue in a foreign recruitment agency
