“The action taken by the Australian police on Boon Lye Teen will certainly raise eye-brows here on whether the MACC and AGC Malaysia will take similar action on the Malaysian officials who were involved in the case,” Kok said. “It will be a shame to the Malaysian government and the people if it is not seen to be doing anything on this case.”report, the charges against Teen came five years after a joint investigation by the daily and its sister publication, which exposed the price of the property having been allegedly inflated by A$4.75 million in order to pay kickbacks to a group of Malaysian officials.
