KUALA NERUS: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has not ruled out conducting new raids on any premises if necessary, as part of its ongoing investigation into the Mentri Besar Incorporated (MBI) issue, says Tan Sri Azam Baki.

The MACC chief commissioner said that investigative officers are actively examining all facets of the case to gather evidence, and as of Friday (Oct 18), had called upon no fewer than 20 witnesses to aid in the investigation.

He made this announcement at the commissioning of Young Integrity Officers (YIO) for the Anti-Corruption Volunteer Students Cadet Corps (Suar Corps) at Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA) on Saturday (Oct 19).

The ceremony saw 39 UniSZA Suar Corps cadets commissioned as MACC YIOs by the Integrity Officer Accreditation Board (LPPIB).

Azam noted that UniSZA is the only higher education institution in Malaysia to have established the Suar Corps, which aims to produce graduates with high integrity and knowledge in anti-corruption.

He also mentioned that the MACC plans to enhance the Suar Corps training at UniSZA by incorporating weapons training programmes into the existing curriculum, in line with the National Anti-Corruption Strategy (NACS) 2024-2028. – Bernama
