PETALING JAYA: G25 has joined calls to strengthen and reconstitute the task force formed to investigate the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). G25 questioned whether a task force without statutory investigative powers is sufficient. The group noted that, unlike an RCI, a task force lacks the legal authority to compel the attendance of witnesses or the production of documents. G25 noted that controversy surrounding the MACC leadership has intensified, with allegations expanding from share ownership to claims that the agency operated like a "corporate mafia". A special committee led by Attorney General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar was established in mid-Feb to investigate the controversy.
