PETALING JAYA: Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Dahlan says he will give his full cooperation to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) over allegations of misuse of power in allowing an extension of time (EOT) to a developer when he was Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government Minister. The Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department said he welcomed a report by DAP to the MACC on the issue, but called it “politically motivated”. “It is clear this report is politically motivated but nonetheless, I will assure the public that I will give full cooperation to MACC,” he tweeted on Monday night. Two DAP Youth leaders had filed the report, urging the MACC to investigate the approval of the one-year EOT for a condominium project in Nov 2015 by the minister. Abdul Rahman had denied any misuse of power following a High Court decision last week which allowed a judicial review by the affected condominium buyers who were not able to claim compensation as a result of the EOT.
