00:00The government's response to claims that Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission officials are part of a corporate mafia involved in taking
00:08over companies has been inadequate, says DAP Secretary-General Lok Siu Fook.
00:14The transport minister said DAP ministers would push for the establishment of a Royal Commission of Inquiry to investigate the
00:21alleged scheme during Friday's cabinet meeting, reported Malaysia Kini.
00:25A Bloomberg report had alleged that MECC officers were part of a corporate mafia which provided intimidation services such as
00:34raids to pressure business executives to sell their shares.
00:39MECC Chief Commissioner Azambaki, however, rubbished the report and invited those with information on the matter to launch police reports.
00:47Lok said the government must treat the corporate mafia allegations with the utmost seriousness, particularly given Bloomberg's stature as an
00:55influential international media organization.
00:59The Sarumban MP said that unless the matter was thoroughly clarified, MECC would continue to operate under a cloud of
01:06suspicion which he said would be unfair to the anti-graft agency.
