Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) sources said that 17 of the companies were held by siblings and family members of Ag Tahir and another 21 companies were owned by Teoh’s relatives. “We want to know what they own in a comprehensive way,” MACC deputy chief commissioner Datuk Azam Baki said yesterday. The sources said 40 witnesses have been identified, mainly Water Department officials and contractors. Asked about talk that a few witnesses had left the country, Azam said all witnesses wanted by MACC were in Sabah. He said a special MACC team of investigators involving 70 personnel has been working on the case since last year.
