KOTA BARU: Investigations by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) into Air Kelantan Sdn Bhd's (AKSB) alleged corrupt practices involving projects worth more than RM27 million is about 70 percent complete.
Sources said MACC's probe on the case, however, is still on-going.
The sources said more than five witnesses comprising contractors, AKSB officers and board members have been called by the commission for questioning recently.
"More witnesses are expected to be called by MACC's Special Operations Division who is handling the case," sources told the New Straits Times.
MACC recently arrested four individuals including AKSB's former general manager for their alleged involvement in corrupt practices.
Apart from the 60-year-old former general manager, the other three arrested were an AKSB officer, project manager and consultant company director.
They were arrested separately at the MACC office in Kota Baru.
Except for the consultant company director, the trio had allegedly accepted the money from several companies for AKSB projects between 2015 and 2019.
The director was believed to have been in cahoots with the former general manager.
All of them were later released on MACC bail.
Deputy Kelantan Menteri Besar Datuk Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah recently denied that the state government's executive councillors were called by MACC to help out in its probe of AKSB for alleged corrupt practices.
However, he was informed that several board members of the state-owned company were contacted by the MACC recently.
Amar said he believed the case was more on the company's management problems.
