MACC will require new witnesses or evidence to reopen its probe on alleged corruption involving Sarawak Governor Abdul Taib Mahmud.
MACC chief Shukri Abdull said today that 15 separate investigations were initiated against Taib in the past and submitted to the Attorney-General's Chambers but the latter found that no charges could be pressed against the former Sarawak chief minister.
"Based on our investigations, there was truth in some of the allegations made against Taib, But the problem was that he never made any decisions [...] he did not sit in for any of the meetings, someone else sat in for the meetings," Shukri told a press conference in Petaling Jaya after launching a book authored by Transparency-International Malaysia president Akhbar Satar.
As such, under the law, no charges could be pressed against Taib for alleged abuse of power, he claimed.
