Fingerprints on MACC death note 'unclear'

Four of the six fingerprints found on the note sent to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC)'s chief commissioner Ahmad Said Hamdan did not match the fingerprints records with the authorities.

Selangor chief police officer Khalid Abu Bakar said forensic examinaton on the envelope sent to Ahmad Said showed no new evidence.

“Four of the prints were not clear enough while two others were still under analysis," he told reporters after an anti-drugs programme at Seri Kembangan today.

On July 24, Ahmad Said received a letter threatening death in revenge for the death of Selangor political aide, Teoh Beng Hock, after he was questioned by the MACC.

The letter was received through the post by the Selangor MACC office at Plaza Masalam, Shah Alam.

Wong probed for obstruction

On the refusal of Wong Chuan How, 50, aide to Selangor executive councillor Ronnie Liu, to cooperate with the MACC, Khalid said police have reports from both the MACC and Wong.

"The case is being investigated under Section 188 of the Penal Code for obstructing a public official from discharging his duty and Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act for verbally abusing a public official," he said.

Wong is being investigated by the MACC in relation to allegations of abuse of state allocations involving 234 projects worth almost RM500,000.
