Terengganu MB leaves it to MACC to investigate claims made by opposition

The Menteri Besar of Terengganu Datuk Seri Ahmad Said, refuses to be dragged into any political games played by the opposition which had claimed of irregularities within several government projects. The matter has however been surrendered completely to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) for investigation or prosecution. Ahmad Said characterised the action taken by Batu Burok state assemblyman Dr Syed Azman Syed Ahmad Nawawi in lodging a report to MACC as merely a political game. "Anyway, like I said before...he has sent it earlier. But he wanted to play the political game (so) I would leave it to the MACC," he told reporters after opening the Parent-Teacher Association (PIBG) Bukit Mentok Sekolah Kebangsaan general meeting in Kemaman on Saturday. On Friday, Syed Azman together with Terengganu PKR chairman, Azan Ismail, and Kuala Terengganu MP, Datuk Raja Kamarul Bahrin Shah Raja Ahmad delivered what was claimed to be documents related to the alleged misconduct and corruption by the state government to MACC in Kuala Lumpur. The Batu Buruk state assemblyman had claimed of surrendering six documents which related to the Payang market, logging, mining, 2nd East Coast highway and the Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin stadium issue. Both assemblymen were met by reporters at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption academy to surrender the case documents to MACC Commissioner, Tan Sri Abu Kasim Mohamed.
