MACC sifting through flow of RM48mil cash 14
PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is zeroing in on how RM48mil of Government funds meant to uplift the rural poor was moved across an intricate web of companies. The graftbusters are said to be probing 14 Sabah-based companies, said to be involved in the “disappearance” of the money over seven years, which is part of the RM1.5bil misappropriation of funds that MACC is looking into. It was discovered that the main “formula” for the embezzlement involved an inflation of the project prices by 25% where in the end, 15% which is equivalent to RM48mil, had gone into the pockets of others His two brothers – Datuk Yusof and Hamid – were also sought to facilitate the probe. Both siblings were released last Monday and on Oct 19 respectively. The MACC is also investigating the role of two Datuks in the money trail and who had appointed them. image: https://www.thestar.com.my/~/media/online/2017/10/29/01/29/moneytrail.ashx?h=528&w=450&a
