No home interview for Najib, says MACC deputy chief


(MMO) – The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) will record Datuk Seri Najib Razak at its headquarters in Putrajaya next Tuesday, its deputy chief of operations Datuk Seri Azam Baki said today.

Azam denied that the MACC would be interviewing the ex-prime minister at his private home in Taman Duta here, contrary to a statement just hours earlier by Najib’s lawyer.

“The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission has delivered a notice to former prime minister Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Razak to be present at the MACC headquarters on Tuesday (May 22, 2018).

“I reject the statement by Datuk Seri Najib’s lawyer, Datuk Harpal Singh Grewal that MACC officers will be present at his house to record his statement.

“In the notice that was delivered to Datuk Seri Najib yesterday, it was stated clearly that he has to be present at the MACC headquarters to have his statement recorded,” Azam said in a statement.

The senior MACC man said Najib is required to show up to assist in the MACC’s investigations on the case involving the SRC International.

SRC International is a company that was formerly a subsidiary of the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), but it was later parked as a unit under the Finance Ministry.
