MACC chief: Two assemblymen among 3 in Kota Kinabalu to be charged under Op Adun investigation
Azam said the individuals are expected to be charged in the Kota Kinabalu Corruption Court by the end of this month. — Malay Mail photo KOTA KINABALU (June 18): The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) will charge three individuals, two of whom are state assemblymen, here in connection with the Op Adun investigation, said Tan Sri Azam Baki. The MACC chief commissioner disclosed that the individuals are expected to be charged in the Kota Kinabalu Corruption Court by the end of this month. 'Yes, regarding the case involving the assemblymen, there are two suspects from the assemblymen's side and one civilian who are currently in the process of being arrested and informed of their court appearance date. 'I will keep the date close to my chest for now. I will not reveal it until the process is completed. But rest assured, those individuals will be charged in court within this month, possibly by the end of the month. 'It depends on the date set by the court, because the corruption court in Sabah only has certain available dates, and we are currently trying to obtain one from the court,' he told reporters after officiating at the International Conference on Technology, Management and Sustainability (ICTMS 2025) here today. He said the three suspects are now in the process of being called in for statements to be recorded under caution. When asked about the authenticity of the video related to the case, Azam said he cannot discuss the matter further because it would be sub judice (under judicial consideration and therefore prohibited from public discussion elsewhere). 'I will hand it over to the deputy public prosecutor, who will decide whether to use it as evidence. But rest assured, in our investigation, we did not rely solely on that evidence, regardless of whether it is authentic or not. We also relied on other forms of evidence. 'Testimony is not just based on audiovisual material. It also relies on evidence provided by people, by humans themselves. We need individuals to speak. Machines may provide one form of testimony, but we also need humans to verify the authenticity and contents of the audio or visual recordings. 'This matter is very technical, so I do not wish to go into too much detail. And since the case has already reached a decision, for now, three people will be prosecuted. I do not know about the future, let the DPP decide on that,' he added. Azam Baki Kota Kinabalu corruption court MACC Op Adun
