No Criminal Element Found in DBKL Advisory Board Member’s Alleged Misconduct: MACC

Kuala Lumpur: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has determined that there are no criminal elements in the alleged misconduct involving a member of the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) advisory board concerning the awarding of a RM4 million project.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, MACC Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki stated that this conclusion came after an examination of documents submitted by DBKL on February 7 regarding the execution of its content production and radio studio project.

"Our review identified weaknesses in DBKL's governance guidelines that need to be addressed," he remarked. Consequently, the MACC's Governance Investigation Division (PBT) is assessing DBKL's procurement and payment processes to ensure adherence to current regulations, as informed to Bernama.

On February 6, prior reports indicated that the MACC was scrutinizing documents linked to the case, following an internal probe by DBKL.
