KUALA TERENGGANU: Fahmi Fadzil and Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad have dismissed allegations that their officers are under investigation by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
Fahmi, the Communications and Digital Minister, described the allegation as untrue, baseless and malicious.
"So far, none of my officers have been called by the MACC. We have confirmed this matter," he told reporters after attending a town hall session with the Terengganu Communications and Digital Ministry staff at the RTM Auditorium here.
Fahmi said he had asked his political secretary to file a police report over the allegation.
"If you are not sure don't share. Please check before spreading (false news). The Communications and Multimedia Commission is monitoring and action will be taken if necessary," he said.
Nik Nazmi, the Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change Minister also denied the claim.
"So far, none of my officers have been called by the MACC," he said in a statement.
However, Nik Nazmi said if there were to be any investigation, he and any of his officers were ready to fully cooperate with the authorities.
On Friday (May 12), Edisi Siasat via the Telegram post claimed that Fahmi and Nik Nazmi had sacked their respective officers over the alleged probe. – Bernama
