KUALA LUMPUR – The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) wants the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to share all findings from its probe on the Macau Scam.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador said this was crucial to allow PDRM to take action against police officers or personnel found to be colluding with criminal syndicates.
Commenting on allegations that 31 policemen were linked to Macau Scam syndicates, he said the case was quite complicated as it came from the MACC.
“PDRM is the second authority to investigate the case after the MACC and I hope they will share all information so that the police can make the right and fair decision,” he told reporters after receiving his first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine at the Kuala Lumpur Health Clinic here, today.
He said those involved with the syndicate would face action including the sack and a demotion in rank, with the Police Force Commission (SPP) to decide when it convenes soon.
Yesterday, Abdul Hamid said the Department of Integrity and Standard Compliance has already completed the investigations and submitted the paper to SPP, chaired by Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin.
The IGP said the 31 police personnel were previously suspected of being involved in the Macau Scam syndicate, orchestrated by Zaidi Kanapiah, more well-known as Addy Kanna, and Goh Leong Yeong, or Alvin Goh. – Bernama, March 2, 2021
