KUCHING: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has conducted forensic audit on five companies’ accounts related to the Ijok land deal, involving a 880-hectare plot of land. He said individuals involved directly to the companies, including the directors and accountants had been called to give their statements to facilitate investigations. Last month, it was reported that MACC seized documents from five companies, including a legal firm, regarding the RM1.18 billion land deal in Ijok, Selangor, where the state government had handed over 880ha land to two companies. On an unrelated issue, Azam said MACC were also in the process of getting feedback from several departments and agencies to complete the probe into the proposed Penang undersea tunnel project in Penang. The tunnel project had raised numerous controversies in recent months, especially on the high cost of the RM305 million feasibility studies as well as the 21-month delay in completing it.
