KUALA LUMPUR, May 14 (Bernama) -- Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar said
Wednesday there is no evidence to link Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman
to four allegations of criminal misconduct.
The investigation papers on the matter had been submitted to the Sabah deputy
public prosecutor who decided that there was no evidence to link Musa to the
allegations, he said when winding up debate for his ministry on the motion of
thanks for the royal address in the Dewan Rakyat.
Salahuddin Ayub (PAS-Kubang Kerian) had asked for the status of the
investigation into 80 cases of police reports on the misconduct of the Sabah
chief minister.
Syed Hamid said the remaining 76 cases, relating to corruption, had been handed
over to the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) for investigation. He did not
elaborate.
On July 2 last year, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi had said in
a written reply to Salahuddin that the investigation on the allegation of
corruption against Musa was going on.
The prime minister referred to Section 21(4) of the Prevention of Corruption Act
1997 to state that any complaint could not be made public until the person
accused was brought to court.
