SHAH ALAM - The government is urged to not interfere with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) investigation of cases by making its own assumptions about the amount of money allegedly embezzled.

Political observer and analysts Mohamad Shafiq Abdul Halim said the government needs to fully hand over any investigations to trained MACC officers.

"People don't want to hear these assumptions and riddles, so let's just let MACC conduct the investigation," he said in a statement today.
