KUALA NERUS: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has denied that the detention of three staff members of an opposition MP in Selangor was politically motivated. MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Dzulkifli Ahmad said the action against the three individuals was conducted professionally in line with the efforts of the commission to rid the country of corruption. "We stress that the arrest of the individuals is not related to politics. Dzulkifli was commenting on the allegation by Subang PKR MP R. Sivarasa that the detention of his three employees by MACC on Saturday was politically motivated. "We will act indiscriminately regardless of whether the person is from the ruling party or opposition," he said, adding that the MACC had also taken action against individuals from the ruling party recently.
