KUALA LUMPUR – Education Ministry (MoE) Secretary-General Datuk Yusran Shah Mohd Yusof has been asked to lodge a report with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) immediately regarding allegations of embezzlement in the ministry.

Datuk Radzi Jidin said in a Facebook post tonight that the directive was issued following a video recording sent by an individual identified as Zaharin Yassin, believed to be Datuk Zaharin Mohd Yasin, claiming to have received a complaint of embezzlement related to letters of acceptance for contracts regarding cooked food supplies and the cleanliness of buildings and areas.

“Since my name and that of the MoE secretary-general were also mentioned, I have instructed Yusran to lodge an immediate report with MACC so that investigations into the allegations can be carried out as soon as possible.

“I also hope that Zaharin can convey the information he received to MACC,” he added.

Radzi also uploaded a 2.45-minute video by Zaharin regarding the allegations. – Bernama, October 17, 2022
