The Star Online
GEORGE TOWN: State Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has reopened the corruption case against former Deputy Penang Chief Minister (1) Mohammad Fairus Khairuddin following new collaborative evidence.
Investigations completed and papers have been submitted two headquarters for further action, State MACC director Latifah Md Yatim told a press conference.
Earlier, Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng demanded to know why MACC had re-opened an investigation into a case involving a quarry linked to Fairus.
"Why do they (MACC) still want to request for the minutes of the past state executive councillors (Exco) meeting as the case has been closed?
"This is a very irresponsible and unprofessional act on the part of the state MACC which seems to be targeting Pakatan Rakyat (PR) members," he added.
The chief minister said he could not spare the time for the MACC to record his statement but would be ready to submit to their request for the minutes.
"They had requested a time to record my statement but I refused to entertain (them) as I had already given my statement, the last time around...I have my own programmes, too," he said.
Lim was speaking to reporters after announcing that Irene Yeap was the new chairman of the Penang State Symphony Orchestra & Chorus (PESSOC) here on Wednesday.
