KOTA BARU – The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is expected to call several more individuals including a state exco to facilitate its investigation into the alleged graft and abuse of power involving Air Kelantan Sdn Bhd (AKSB) employees and former staff.

According to sources, the individuals will be called in stages as soon as possible.

“The MACC will also seize all documents at the offices involved for the purpose of the graft probe,” it said when contacted.

So far, AKSB’s former general manager and officer, a company director and a project manager have been remanded to facilitate investigation into the case involving projects worth more than RM27 million.
