00:00The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission has received a report about a businessman suspected

00:06of corruption related to a mineral mining project in Sabah.

00:11MACC said preliminary investigations revealed links between several state assemblymen and

00:16the businessman, leading to five of them being summoned for statements.

00:20MACC has urged the public to refrain from speculating and allow a thorough investigation.

00:27Last Tuesday, FMT quoted a source as saying that a former senior officer of a state mining

00:31company in Sabah is alleged to have misused his position through a long-standing relationship

00:37with a broker from peninsular Malaysia.

00:40The broker allegedly facilitated mineral exploration companies in obtaining prospecting licenses

00:45corruptly across various states.

00:47The source said the collusion led Sabah's Chief Minister Hajiji North to not renew the

00:51officer's contract, prompting alleged intimidation tactics by the officer and the broker.

00:57Yesterday, MACC took statements from Sabah's Deputy Chief Minister Shahel Miyahya, Kemabung

01:02Assemblyman Rubin Balang, and Tempaso Assemblyman Arsad Bistari over the corruption allegations,

01:08with Hajiji expressing his willingness to cooperate with the investigation.
