Top of the class: Azam (second from right) with top graduates (from left) Nor Hazira Mohamad Hasri, Nurarina Yuslynda Usuf and Tengku Nur Diyana Syamimi Tengku Zolnurin at the MACC Law Enforcement Accredited Programme convocation ceremony in Bangi. — Bernama BANGI: The investigation regarding alleged misuse of sukuk funds in a highway project in the Klang Valley is expected to be completed within a month or two, says Tan Sri Azam Baki. The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner said the length of time is needed to enable the investigation team to obtain complete information. 'We need to analyse several documents including financial statements. 'So far, we have recorded the statements of 53 witnesses to assist with the investigation,' he said after attending the MACC Law Enforcement Accredited Programme convocation yesterday. Azam said more witnesses will be called up to assist with the investigation. Azam had said the highway concessionaire is a key witness in the investigation. Earlier reports stated that 45 people who had given statements were recalled to provide more information. On June 3, the MACC disclosed that it had seized assets worth around RM143mil concerning the case. Investigators are also tracing luxury vehicles and properties linked to the Tan Sri, including assets in London and Switzerland. On another matter, Azam said at least two people are expected to be charged in connection with a video clip of an alleged corruption scandal involving a Sabah assemblyman. He said he will make the announcement of the prosecution soon. It was reported that the MACC has completed the investigation paper regarding the case. According to a source, the investigation paper was sent to the prosecution for review two weeks ago. Several video recordings have gone viral, allegedly showing conversations between certain people and several Sabah lawmakers regarding the issue of mineral licensing in the state. Meanwhile, the statement recording of a Tan Sri had resumed yesterday at his residence following a six-hour session on Wednesday, he added. A white Toyota Vios carrying MACC officers was seen entering the individual's residence at 8.45am in Bandar Tasik Selatan here while the MACC's Anti-Corruption Tactical Squad (ACTS) arrived at the premises at 10.50am yesterday. The ACTS officers were seen armed with firearms. Four vehicles were seen entering the property, including two white vans, a Nissan Grand Livina and a Honda City. One of the entrances to the property was also sealed by auxiliary police from a private company, with cones and barriers placed at the gate. Media personnel were prevented from approaching the area.
