KUALA LUMPUR, 4 March 2026 (The Capital Post)— The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has summoned a former federal minister alongside 11 other individuals in connection with an RM11 billion government agreement, as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged corruption and abuse of power.
The group was called in to assist with inquiries related to the procurement and implementation of a multi-billion-ringgit contract that has drawn scrutiny over its transparency and value to the public sector. MACC investigators are gathering statements and reviewing documents as part of efforts to establish whether any criminal offences have been committed.
Sources familiar with the probe indicated that the former minister’s involvement centres on decisions made during his tenure in office, when the agreement was awarded. The identities of the other individuals have not been publicly disclosed, but they are understood to include corporate executives and government officials linked to the project.

MACC has not formally charged any of the 12 individuals but has stressed that the investigation remains active and ongoing. Officials have urged those with information relevant to the case to come forward and assist with the inquiry.
The commission’s intervention follows public concern over the scale of the contract and calls for clearer accountability in major government procurement deals. This latest development underscores heightened enforcement efforts by authorities targeting high-profile corruption cases.-The Capital Post
