MACC, EC and Suhakam placed under Parliament from today

THREE controversial government agencies – the Election Commission (EC), Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam) – will be placed directly under the authority of Parliament starting today, following a massive restructuring of several key agencies and departments under the Prime Minister’s Department (PMD).

The restructuring is part of the PMD rationalisation plan announced by Putrajaya following discussions between Chief Secretary Ali Hamsa and Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
