Lodge report, name the officer- Kulasegaran
KUALA LUMPUR: Businessman Datuk Albert Tei has been urged to lodge a report and name the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission officer who warned him not to go public about the mineral mining licensing scandal in Sabah. Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform) M. Kulasegaran in his winding-up debate of the Whistleblower Protection (Amendment) Bill 2025 said the matter was raised by several members of parliament during their debates. "This is a serious allegation and cannot be accepted. "Anyone who reports misconduct must not face obstruction or threats from any party, particularly from authorities responsible for safeguarding whistleblowers under the act. "As such, I would like to advise the individual named Albert Tei to promptly lodge a report on this matter with both the police and the MACC Complaints Committee, in accordance with Section 15 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 and to name the anti-graft officer implicated in the allegation," he said. Earlier today, a news portal reported that Tei's lawyer Mahajoth Singh revealed that the businessman had approached MACC but was warned against coming forward regarding the mining scandal. Authorities began their probe after a series of edited videos were published by a news portal in November last year.

Proposal for parliamentary committee on MACC chief's appointment needs review
KUALA LUMPUR: The proposal to form a Parliamentary Special Select Committee (PSSC) with government and opposition members to evaluate candidates for the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Chief Commissioner post needs careful review, said Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said. The Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform) stated that the idea requires thorough deliberation and coordination among stakeholders, considering its suitability and broader impact. She highlighted that the Dewan Rakyat currently has 10 Special Select Committees. 'These committees function based on their respective terms of reference under the Dewan Rakyat's Standing Orders and include MPs from both the government and opposition,' she said. Azalina added that the National Anti-Corruption Strategy (NACS) 2024–2028 includes a sub-strategy under Public Accountability to 'Review the appointment and dismissal requirements of the MACC Chief Commissioner and establish an MACC Service Commission' as part of long-term reforms. The appointment of the MACC Chief Commissioner is governed by Section 5 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 (Act 696). Her response came after Dr Halimah Ali (PN-Kapar) questioned whether the government plans to establish such a committee. - Bernama
