KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah government will extend its full cooperation to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Agency (MACC) in its probe against two senior government officers over a multi-million ringgit corruption case. Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman, in a statement today, welcomed the investigation by MACC, adding that the government will provide the necessary assistance. Both senior officers were said to have handled infrastructure construction projects valued at more than RM3.3 billion since 2010. Following their arrests, MACC picked up the deputy director's brother and an accountant, who is believed to have helped managed the ill-gotten gains. Their arrests led to the seizure of RM112 million cash, including that recovered from bank accounts belonging to the senior officers and their family members.
