00:00The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission has refuted claims that its officers pointed a
00:06weapon at businessman Albert Tay during his arrest. In a statement, MACC Chief Commissioner
00:13Tan Sri Azambaki said the arrest at Tay's residence on Friday was conducted in accordance
00:19with established procedures. He added that a police report was lodged to enable the relevant
00:24authorities to investigate the slander made against the MACC officers involved. Azam said
00:31the police report is also to ensure that no parties disseminate any unverified information,
00:37possibly with the intention of disrupting the investigation currently being undertaken by
00:43MACC. Earlier, Tay's wife told Malaysia Keeney that MACC officers had pointed a gun at the businessman
00:51before handcuffing him. She also claimed that the officers had barged into their home through the
00:57main door. On Thursday, Azam said the MACC is investigating claims that Tay bribed the Prime
01:03Minister's former political secretary, Datuk Seri Shamsul Iskandar Mohammed Akin. Shamsul Iskandar
01:10was summoned to appear at the MACC headquarters on Friday, while Tay was scheduled to be questioned
01:15on December 1. Azam said a woman, known as Sophia Rini Buyong, who's implicated in a video linked
01:22to the Sabah mining scandal, has provided her statement.
