NSTnation: Officers verifying alleged elements of graft in RM4.4b river beautification project, says Latheefa Koya RiverOfLife

MACC Chief Commissioner Latheefa Koya said the commission would determine if there were elements of wrongdoing related to graft in the project before conducting an investigation.

“If there are indications of wrongdoing, abuse or corruption, MACC will carry out an investigation,” she told NST in a text message from Bangkok, Thailand, where she and MACC officers are attending an anti-graft conference. Critics claimed that the beautification work in the Heritage Quarter was showing signs of wear and tear barely two years after the first phase of the project, which was launched by former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak in 2017.

This, said the ministry, was due to vandalism of RoL’s Heritage Quarter, which cost RM130 million, and is set to cost an estimated RM1 million more in repairs.
