KAJANG (Feb 27): Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has confirmed that the proposal to establish a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) over issues involving the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) was discussed at Friday’s Cabinet meeting. He said discussions proceeded smoothly and that an official statement detailing the matter would be issued soon. “We discussed it earlier. A statement will follow,” he told reporters after Friday prayers at Masjid Pekan Kajang here. The ‘corporate mafia’ allegations revolve around claims that senior MACC officials orchestrated a campaign of intimidation, pressuring executives and shareholders of publicly listed companies to resign or sell their shares at steep discounts to a network of connected businessmen.
