The Defence Ministry has lodged two reports with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission , requesting investigations into alleged discrepancies in military land swap deals.
It attributed the loss to under-valued land price, administrative flaws, negligence and “outrageous” political interference, among others. Mindef said it viewed seriously the committee’s findings, censure and recommendations, and was looking into taking stern action to serve as a deterrent. “As the deal is yet to be inked, it is best to review the project in accordance with the ministry’s current needs,” it said.The committee also called on Mindef to revalue the Sungai Besi land swap deal, as the land price should not be below the Valuation and Property Services Department ’s valuation, and that another 20% should be added to the price, taking into consideration land usage, holding and future development.
