Anti-graft watchdog Gerak has lodged a complaint with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) against Selangor Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim for allegedly misusing state funds. According to Gerak chairperson, Mohd Nazree Mohd Yunus, Abdul Khalid had used state funds to sponsor 46 cattle to be slaughtered and distributed to Bandar Tun Razak residents in Kuala Lumpur for the Hari Raya Korban last December. Abdul Khalid is also the member of parliament for Bandar Tun Razak. According to Mohd Nazree’s complaint, Abdul Khalid had bought the cattle for RM110,400 using funds from a state agency. The Gerak’s chairperson also revealed that they had received documents last week from “an individual working in the state agency involved”, namely the Selangor Industrial Corporation Sdn Bhd...Meanwhile Abdul Khalid rejected Gerak's claims of his corrupt practice. Talking to reporters at a press conference later in the day, Abdul Khalid clarified that the cattle were actually gifts for the needy from an associate company of a state agency. (Mkini: Corruption report lodged against S'gor MB) Will MACC take swift action against those found to be corrupt? I hope so. There have been far too many cold files in the past.
