PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has begun probing a former minister for corruption and abuse of power following the discovery of fresh leads, almost a decade later.
MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki confirmed the probe and said that the anti-graft agency will call several persons of interest to facilitate investigations, New Straits Times reported.
The report, however, did not name the former minister involved.
NST quoted a source as saying the probe focused on project approvals in a federal territory involving millions of ringgit.
The source also said the investigations cover the construction of advertising billboards and the transfer of a parcel of government-owned land to a prominent property developer.
However, the anti-graft agency is still probing links between the former minister and the firms involved and is obtaining relevant documents, the source said.
