KUALA LUMPUR, March 18 — Transparency-International Malaysia (TI-M) today called for the country’s graft-busters to investigate claims of corruption against Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud, saying Malaysia’s global standing was now at stake
The anti-graft watchdog urged the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) today to take immediate action as complaints of corruption against Taib have surfaced in the foreign media.
“Transparency-International is concerned for (the) credibility of the country and also our image if no investigations are carried out,” TI-M president Datuk Paul Low told reporters today.
“The allegations we’re concerned about is (the) massive amount of wealth that’s been gained by people close to him (Taib), (his) family, relatives, friends.
“So I think it’s only proper that investigations should be carried out to clear the air on how wealth was amassed,” he added - TMI
