KUALA LUMPUR – The Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Ibrahim, will select a new Chief Commissioner of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to lead the agency.

In a post on his official Facebook page, Sultan Ibrahim said there is no need for any party to politicise the matter.

“I will determine who is the best candidate to lead the MACC moving forward,” His Majesty said in a statement to the Royal Press Office (RPO) on Thursday.

He added that the position is crucial in ensuring the MACC continues to function effectively as the nation’s main institution in combating corruption, malpractice and abuse of power.
