SAHABAT Alam Malaysia (SAM) and the Center to Combat Corruption and Cronyism (C4) have called for greater transparency over the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (MACC) investigation into the Department of Environment’s top leadership over alleged corruption in e-waste management.
In a joint statement, the groups said the public still did not know whether the department’s director-general and deputy director-general had been suspended, despite MACC earlier submitting investigation papers in early March to the Deputy Public Prosecutor with a recommendation for charges to be filed.
They said the lack of clarity raised concerns over possible interference with evidence and could undermine public confidence in environmental governance and anti-corruption enforcement.
The statement also referred to earlier media reports that 16 bank accounts containing RM10.2 million had been frozen, alongside another RM1 million in related corporate and individual accounts, while cash and valuables were also seized.
“Malaysia’s environmental leadership cannot be compromised by opacity or delay,” the statement said.
SAM and C4 said MACC and the Attorney-General’s Chambers should disclose the current status of the case, including when the officials would be charged, if at all.
They also urged the ministry to explain what interim administrative measures had been taken to prevent conflict of interest or further abuse of power while investigations remain ongoing.
