KUALA LUMPUR - Questions have been posed as to how a 'Datuk Seri' who is a Macau Scam suspect fled the fortified Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters in Putrajaya.
Based on several photos circulating of the Datuk Seri and the MACC headquarters, netizens have asked how the “stocky” suspect had managed to scale the high fences of the MACC compound on Monday.
“Do you know how tall this fence is (that) not only fat people, even thin people would not be able to flee, unless you are Majin Buu (Dragon Ball character),” said one user account with the handle @FaktaBukanAuta

Another user with the handle @shahkushaa said something was amiss about the suspect being able to escape from the authorities.
"If someone from the Macau Scam syndicate flees by climbing a fence (at the MACC HQ), then something is wrong,” he said.
"The victims of the scams are usual people, pension money, asb savings etc."
The Vibes had reached out to the MACC for comment but the commission had yet to respond to its query at press time yesterday.
Sources told Sinar Harian yesterday that the police were on the hunt for the main suspect who had apparently climbed the rear fence of the MACC building.
Earlier reports said the suspect was released by the MACC but was due to be re-arrested by the police in the MACC building when he escaped through the fence.
“How did the guy climb a fence that is SO HIGH in his current condition, how could he simply slip away? Was there a car already waiting? Who called for the car if yes?,” read a posting ViralOhViral.
Meanwhile, Malaysia Corruption Watch (MCW) president, Jais Abdul Karim said he hoped the police and the MACC would investigate the Datuk Seri’s escape, saying a probe needs to be conducted and stern action taken if there were officers involved.
“The suspect must be traced immediately,” he told Sinar Harian.
“MACC should also beef up the safety and security of their building because this matter should not be allowed to happen in future so as to preserve MACC's good image.”
Last week, MACC commissioner Datuk Seri Azam Baki said the anti-corruption body had frozen RM80 million in funds from 730 bank accounts and seized RM5 million in cash from Macam Scam syndicates.
The MACC also seized 23 luxury vehicles, including brands such as Bentley, Ferrari, Rolls Royce and some high-powered motorcycles.
“The asset seizure is to cripple the syndicates from continuing to scam people,” he said. – The Vibes, October 15, 2020
