KUALA LUMPUR - The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is scheduled to resume recording a statement this Thursday from an individual with the title Tan Sri, as part of investigations into the alleged misappropriation of sukuk funds for a highway construction project in the Klang Valley.
Its Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki, when contacted, confirmed that the statement will be recorded at the individual's residence in the federal capital at 9am. MACC is scheduled to resume recording a statement this Thursday from an individual with the title Tan Sri, as part of investigations into the alleged misappropriation of sukuk funds for a highway construction project in the Klang Valley.
On June 11, the MACC recorded an initial statement from the individual over a six-hour period, which was temporarily halted due to health reasons.
Earlier, media reports stated that the MACC had seized various assets, including handbags, jewellery, luxury vehicles, watches, cash and high-end properties, collectively estimated at RM32 million, believed to belong to a highway concessionaire bearing the Tan Sri title. - BERNAMA

SMG Project Uncovers Over 10 Bodies In Sungai Klang, Including Infant
SHAH ALAM, June 16 (Bernama) – In addition to the challenge of removing 94,000 metric tonnes of waste from Sungai Klang, the flood mitigation project under the Selangor Maritime Gateway (SMG) initiative has also uncovered more than 10 bodies, including that of an infant, since its implementation began in November 2022. Landasan Lumayan Sdn Bhd (LLSB) managing director, Syaiful Azmen Nordin said three bodies were discovered over three consecutive days in the Kota Kemuning area in May, which forced excavation and river-deepening works to be temporarily halted. 'So far, we have handed over more than 10 bodies, including an infant, to the police and fire department for further investigation. 'Typically, the bodies are found in good condition and largely intact despite being unclothed, including the infant, who was discovered inside an interceptor designed to trap surface debris,' he said. Speaking to reporters after visiting the flood mitigation project site in Kota Kemuning today, Syaiful Azmen said the company works closely with police and fire authorities to conduct site investigations, in part to ensure halted works can resume as soon as possible. He added that aside from the discovery of bodies, the project implementation team also faces the challenge of severe river pollution, having encountered various large discarded items such as refrigerators, lorry tyres, sofas, beds, mattresses and motorcycles at the bottom of Sungai Klang. He noted that these discoveries – both bodies and waste – have somewhat disrupted or slowed the ongoing dredging and river-deepening operations. 'Nonetheless, these findings will not break our spirit in completing the mission to widen and deepen Sungai Klang, with the aim of increasing water capacity by at least 40 per cent by the end of this year,' he said. -- BERNAMA

He said Sarawak has an ambitious plan to increase its power supply to 10 gigawatts by 2030, while maintaining a strong focus on renewable sources, with up to 70 per cent from hydropower. This expansion, according to him, includes the ongoing construction of 1.5 gigawatts of gas turbine capacity in Bintulu and Miri and a new 1.2 gigawatt hydroelectric plant. "If we have a surplus of power, we will share with our brothers and sisters in ASEAN," he told delegates of the 43rd ASEAN Senior Officials Meeting on Energy (SOME) at a welcoming dinner here, tonight. He said in addressing the global challenge of climate change, Sarawak is taking a proactive approach to adopt alternative energy sources, with one of its key initiatives in developing its hydrogen production potential. "Sarawak is trying its best to use the resources that we have and to adopt new technology to produce a substitute to hydrocarbon," Abang Johari said. He said the state is collaborating with partners like Japan and Korea to produce hydrogen from its abundant water resources through electrolysis. While acknowledging the current cost challenges, he expressed his optimism that advancements in technology will make hydrogen production more feasible over time. -- BERNAMA
