No one can hide their grand-scale corruption from MACC, says Latheefa

Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief commissioner Latheefa Koya speaks during a press conference after the Parliament Special Select Committee meeting in Kuala Lumpur July 4, 2019. — Picture by Yusof Mat Isa

Stating the 1MDB scandal as a classic example, she said the MACC had been quite lucky to receive tremendous cooperation from the concerned countries throughout the investigation. However, Latheefa said, in some cases, there are also countries that have refused to lend a hand on various grounds, including because of multiple parties claiming on the same property or amount of money involved.

“Those countries also deal with issues like terrorism, so they need to know where the money is coming from...if any country simply allows money to go in without question, that doesn’t help when it comes into curbing the funding of terrorist activities... so why not the same principle is used when it comes to corruption?
