“As everyone is aware, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has initiated an investigation and has summoned several parties for questioning.

Razeef, who is also the Deputy Chief Information Officer at the Central level, emphasized that the Madani government, known for its strong stance against corruption, will not protect any involved parties. “The authorities and the judiciary are free to conduct their investigations and trials accordingly.
