“So I have done my best until my exit, I exited with good intentions actually, to fulfil my promise with Tun. So there is no bad intention, and I have never quarrelled with Tun or political leaders about cases, never,” he told reporters in a news conference at the Everly Hotel in Putrajaya that was aired on Facebook.“If we see Tun’s speeches, every time he will talk about corruption. The ministers also speak a lot about corruption, so it’s good for the government actually.
“As far as I remember, during my tenure as MACC's chief, I think there were no files or investigations against Hishamuddin and Shahrizat,” he said, pointing out that the case of National Feedlot Corporation involving Shahrizat’s husband was investigated by the police instead of the MACC. Insisting that he had never covered up any corruption cases, Shukri said he had always instructed for the rule of law to be applied to all cases investigated by the MACC.
