KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 13): The investigation into the corruption scandal involving the Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) includes a comprehensive review of the procedures and systems in the Ministry of Defence (Mindef), and is not limited to specific cases, said Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki. He said the ongoing investigation also takes into account the possibility of weaknesses in systems, procedures and existing issues in the ministry, following the ongoing investigation into several top MAF officers. "In the procurement issue at Mindef, the matter of public concern is the issue of transparency and governance. Earlier on Tuesday, Azam attended and witnessed the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the MACC and HELP University here. Commenting further, Azam said the investigation showed that the issue was not small-scale, based on the position and rank of the individuals involved.
