00:00DAP Today said that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission's denial of a Bloomberg report,
00:06alleging that agency officers were involved in a corporate mafia,
00:10was insufficient reiterating calls for a Royal Commission of Inquiry to probe the matter.
00:15Parti chairman Gobind Singh Dio said while MACC had every right to dismiss the claim,
00:22such denials did little to restore public or investor confidence.
00:26Gobind said as the allegations in the report were specific,
00:29an impartial and transparent inquiry was required.
00:32He added that there was sufficient basis for the establishment of an RCI.
00:37The Bloomberg report had alleged that MACC officers were part of a corporate mafia,
00:43which provided intimidation services such as raids to pressure business executives to sell their shares.
00:49Yesterday, the Antigraf Agency said it completely rejects these unfounded allegations,
00:55describing them as baseless and malicious.
00:57The AP Secretary-General Lok Siu-fuk also said yesterday that the government's response to the claims was inadequate
01:04and did not meet the public's expectations.
01:07The Transport Minister said DAP ministers would push for the establishment of an RCI
01:12to investigate the alleged scheme during the Cabinet meeting on Friday.
