Ahmad Said Goes for War
Terengganu MB: Probe Monsoon Cup, Islamic Park
KUALA TERENGGANU: The authorities should investigate if there was graft in other high-profile projects in Terengganu and not just the issue of high cost of maintaining official cars, said Terengganu Mentri Besar Datuk Ahmad Said.
He said the Anti-Corruption Agency should not be selective and should also conduct investigations into projects like the prestigious Monsoon Cup sailing event and the Islamic Civilisation Park.
»The ACA should be transparent by also going after the ‘big’ cases« DATUK AHMAD SAID
In an immediate response, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said this was up to the ACA.
“If the ACA finds reasons to initiate investigations into them because there is suspicion of elements of corruption, it is up to the ACA to decide,” he told reporters after the National Academic Awards 2007 in Kuala Lumpur.
Ahmad Said, in a press conference here yesterday, said the two projects he named were “only the tip of the iceberg”.
