PETALING JAYA: Sersol Bhd CEO Justin Lim has denied being notified by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to assist the agency in an investigation.
Lim said that MACC’s July 12 press release and a publication on its website which portrays him as a “wanted individual for criminal investigations”, was inaccurate and without basis.
“This could give the false impression that I am evading or avoiding cooperation with the authorities, which is certainly not the case,” he said in a statement yesterday.
“I have not received any notice from MACC requiring my attendance to record any statement under Section 30 of the MACC 2009.
“Additionally, there have been no attempts by MACC to serve the aforementioned notice at my place of work or residence.”
He added that he had not been approached by MACC officers seeking his assistance in the investigation.
Lim said that while he has been overseas on business since early February, he is intent on fully cooperating with the authorities despite his absence.
He said he has appointed Messrs Gobind Singh Deo & Co to serve as his legal representative during the course of these investigations.
“I sincerely urge MACC to refrain from making any further publications that state or imply otherwise without factual basis,” he said, adding that he will take “any necessary steps to protect my name and reputation”.
