KUALA LUMPUR – There is currently no evidence suggesting that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is involved in any corporate manipulation activities, the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) confirmed.

Inspector-General of Police, Datuk Seri Mohd Khalid Ismail, said that investigations conducted thus far have not uncovered any link between the agency and the alleged scheme.

“From the initial stages up to today, there has been no evidence of MACC involvement. However, we will continue with the investigations as instructed,” he said during a press conference.

Mohd Khalid added that police are still in the process of recording statements from several individuals, including those currently overseas.

“We can call them in, but when it involves foreign jurisdictions, it requires government-to-government (G2G) and agency-to-agency cooperation,” he explained.

Earlier, a Bloomberg report dated February 12 alleged that corporate manipulation activities had infiltrated the MACC, claiming that top officials were involved in a scheme orchestrated by a network of businessmen to take control of companies. – April 10, 2026
