KUALA LUMPUR: A lawmaker has proposed that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) be placed under Parliament.
Hassan Abdul Karim said currently, the MACC only has investigative powers while the decision to prosecute lies with the public prosecutor, who is the Attorney General."There is a dilemma before us as the MACC has thoroughly investigated corruption cases which were then brought to court.
Hassan acknowledged that a comprehensive study was needed before implementation as his proposals require amendments to the law and Constitution. "It is my view that for the good image and authority, Prime Minister and Bera MP should, through his administration, table a confidence motion during this meeting.
He said such a convention should be in relation to the appointment of any new incoming prime minister who assumed the post through other means such by way of statutory declarations rather than the results of a general election.
