SEREMBAN: Tasek Gelugor Member of Parliament (MP) Datuk Wan Saiful Wan Jan, has until the end of this week to come forward and lodge a report with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
This is in connection with his recent revelation in parliament regarding the alleged financial remuneration to support the leadership of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
MACC Chief Commissioner, Tan Sri Azam Baki, said that if the Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) Supreme Leadership Council member failed to do so, action will be taken against him, although he did not disclose the nature of the action.
"As of now, based on my check with my office and officers, he (Wan Saiful) has not yet come forward to report the matter to the MACC."
"So we will call him next week if he fails to make a report.
"I will instruct my officers to take action," he said at a press conference after the Anti-Corruption Executive Talk for Negri Sembilan State Assembly Members 15th Session, at Wisma Negeri, here, today (March 4).
Azam reiterated that, as previously stated, the member of parliament should have made a report to the MACC under Section 25(1) instead of waiting for the anti-graft agency to summon him.
"This is not an issue of us having to find him. He should come to the MACC office or any nearby police station.
"I will not go meet him or bring him from his home to the MACC office. That's the procedure and analogy," he said.
On Feb 28, during the Dewan Rakyat sitting, Wan Saiful claimed to have been threatened and offered rewards in expressing support for the leadership of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Without naming any party, he claimed to have been offered rewards, including an allocation for representatives worth RM1.7 million and the dropping of court charges.
