There is no new lead for the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to reopen its graft probe against Sarawak Governor Abdul Taib Mahmud, de facto Law Minister Liew Vui Keong said.

In a parliamentary reply, Liew acknowledged that MACC received information from whistleblower website Sarawak Report and environmental NGO Bruno Manser Fund.

But Liew said this information was similar to the previous investigation paper opened by MACC before.

"They were not new evidence that would allow MACC to open a new investigation paper," he told Kevin Yii (Harapan-Bandar Kuching).
