KUALA LUMPUR – Despite claims made on Perlis Menteri Besar Mohd Shukri Ramli’s Facebook page, a source said the PAS leader is still at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters.
“The MB is still having his statement taken,” the source told Scoop.
Shukri’s Facebook page administrator claimed at 1.08pm that the menteri besar had not been detained by MACC and was allowed to go home.
Nearly an hour later, it was again posted on his Facebook page that he finished giving his statement to the graftbusters.
“Don’t spread fake news. I’ll continue to give my cooperation to MACC and its investigation. Nothing to worry about. Thank you for your prayers.”
Earlier, MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki’s statement said that the state PAS chief was present at the agency’s headquarters and was called to assist in the ongoing investigation into his son involving alleged false claims.
Azam added that MACC had started an investigation into the menteri besar for alleged abuse of power.
Previously, Shukri’s son was remanded to facilitate investigations in relation to document forgery and false claim submissions totalling RM600,000 over the past two years. – April 30, 2024
