DAP lawmaker Ramkarpal Singh today alleged that MACC’s image was already tarnished by leaked audio recordings in 2016 of former prime minister Najib Razak regarding the 1MDB scandal.
He said this in response to former chief justice Raus Sharif who attributed the downfall of the MACC’s reputation in recent years to the appointment of an ‘active politician’ as its chief commissioner during Pakatan Harapan’s federal administration.
He said Raus’ view seems to suggest that the MACC enjoyed public confidence before the appointment of the so-called political appointee which cannot be further from the truth.
