KUCHING: The Sarawak Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has not received any formal complaints against Governor Tun Abdul Taib Mahmud, said its director Razim Mohd Noor.

While there were allegations of corruption, no formal reports had been made, he said.

“No one has personally come here to lodge a report against the governor,” he said during a Raya gathering here on Friday.

His remarks echoed what Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Moha­mad said last week, that action could not be taken against Taib as no formal complaint had been lodged.

Razim also said he was aware that investigations had been carried out in the past but no charges were made.

“I can’t say whether the evidence was insufficient as I was with another agency at the time. But according to procedure, all our cases are submitted to the deputy public prosecutor to study whether to press charges or close the file,” he said.
