KUALA LUMPUR, OCT 24: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Chief Commissioner, Tan Sri Dzulkifli Ahmad was asked to respond to speculations whether he is or not the person in a video captured in Bali.
Puchong Member of Parliament, Gobind Singh Deo said, keeping mum on the allegation is not a correct reaction, instead, he must respond.
“I ask Dzulkifli (to clarify) if it is true or not that he is the individual in the video that has been spreading, allegedly captured in Bali, Indonesia.
“He needs to respond to the speculation that the individual in question is himself and if it is not, I ask him to clarify openly.
“With a high position in MACC, he needs to do that to clear his name and himself.
“PDRM or any investigation agency must realise that their agency’s image cannot be compromised in whatever situation to ensure public’s confidence in them,” he said.
Talking during a media session at the Parliament Medai centre, he said the call is made in his capacity as a Member of Parliament as MACC was formed based on laws passed in Parliament in 2009.
Last week, a video showing a senior MACC official allegedly having an affair with a married woman was viraled by certain party.
Gobind said an MACC’s Chief Commissioner is special post under Section 5 of the Act.
“Clearly, Parliament enacted the act and formed MACC to protect and promote integrity and transparency in management in the public and private sector.
“Therefore, it becomes necessary for its officers, especially the Chief Commissioner to set a good example,” he said.
MACC Chief Commissioner should come forward and clarify
