MACC searching for ex-Tourism Minister’s secretary

THE Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is looking for a former senior officer to a former minister to assist in the investigation of a case.

The person is Mohd Saifullah Mohd Minggu@Mohd Hisham, 29, and his last known address is KM 2, Jalan Bubul, Peti Surat 351, 91308, Semporna, Sabah.

Those who know him or have information on him are asked to contact the investigation officer, Assistant Commissioner Mohd Fairul Aswan Salleh, at 013-5208426 / 03-88700562 or email him at [email protected].

According to sources, Mohd Saifullah was the former senior confidential secretary to a former minister in the current Warisan state government.

The investigation is said to concern an advertisement campaign for a government agency valued at more than RM90 mil in 2019.

Yesterday, the media reported that three directors of the company involved, aged between 31 and 48, were remanded by MACC for four days.

The company is alleged to have been unqualified for the contract and had submitted false documents to meet the criteria.

They were further suspected to have offered bribes to several officers of the agency to overlook several basic requirements and thus win the tender.

Meanwhile, Bernama reported that the MACC has identified the officer involved in the agency and is set to make several more arrests who it believed were in cahoots with the three suspects in detention.
