The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is free to conduct investigations into Shamsul Iskandar Akin, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said today.

In a statement, Anwar said he had accepted Shamsul’s resignation as his senior political secretary and thanked him for his service over the past three years.

“Concerning the allegations that have surfaced, I maintain that MACC is free to conduct immediate investigations without external interference.

“The Madani government holds fast to the principles of transparency and integrity, as well as giving room for the investigation process to be held according to the law,” he said.

Shamsul announced his resignation as Anwar’s senior aide yesterday, citing attempts to attack him through controversies which he said could have a negative impact on the government’s image.

The Melaka PKR chief had drawn backlash for penning a letter of support for a hospital project, which also earned him a reprimand by Anwar as government regulations do not permit the issuance of such letters.

Shortly after his resignation, Malaysiakini quoted controversial businessman Albert Tei as claiming he had spent RM629,000 on Shamsul, including on renovations for properties linked to the PKR man, as well as premium cigars and custom suits.

Tei was charged in June with two counts of giving bribes to two assemblymen involving the Sabah mining scandal.

Perikatan Nasional has called for MACC to probe Shamsul for corruption and abuse of power over Tei’s allegations and his letter of support.

siapa tipu skrg?

SHAMSUL or ALBERT?

better than previous BN era which UMNO and cronies were protected ketat...

Bmx I going UK, can gip 10K.?

PMX tried to "defend" him at first over the letter issue, but when Albert exposed him, then had to resign the cover face.

Isn't 600k hush seems very small for big wig case like him? Hmmmm I think it is modest enough

mungkin tegur di belakang itu tidak cukup 'keras'

perlu pil warna biru kah?

Oren kita tau, mana boleh sentuh?

seriously PH fags buy the shits coming out from this faggot Nga?

See typical PH. Who is Nga? Is he God who have 24hr voice n bideo recording shamsuks whole life? If not how he know shamsyl did not amik. Lui?? Difference between DAP PH n GPS. GPS do not do this. Got lots of high profile pipuls got investigated. GPS did not come out with the th state dua tak bersaoah this is political prosecution. GPS let MACC do the work.

Kenot la. I am now inside cave cos Man U kalah teruk kat Everton, yesterday! Kenot come out until this Saturday. When is your flight to UK? Actually can drive also la. ulu Klang is just near by only! 😂😂😂😂

Looks like Albert got a lot card up his sleeves

zahid also right

So he can precede MACC to announce tak ambik duit? No investigation and he can say no money changed hands? 😉😉😉😉😉😉

I'm wondering how many persons he pm to ask for money, beside Albert.

i think last election 2022, Shamsul sacrifice himself not to appeal for recalculate vote ticket, vs Zahid, only different 300++， so PMX can form gorvement coalition with Zahid become Madani，if let Hasan become president UMNO, maybe he swing to PN.

Alberto got many decks of cards up his sleeve
