KUALA LUMPUR: The government has not discussed placing the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) under Parliament’s purview, says economic affairs minister Rafizi Ramli.“No, there has been no discussion on that matter,” the PKR deputy president told reporters on the sidelines of an event here.The minister was asked if the government had plans to put MACC under Parliament after Bersatu secretary-general Hamzah Zainudin accused Putrajaya of using the anti-graft agency as a political tool against the party.

Dewan Negara president Rais Yatim and civil society groups previously called for MACC to be placed under Parliament to ensure better accountability.
