The anti-corruption NGO also calls on MACC to speed up its investigation into possible corruption in the awarding of the contract and related matters.
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission is looking into claims of corrupt practices in the Penang undersea tunnel project.
In a statement today, the NGO’s executive director Cynthia Gabriel and northern region coordinator Sudhagaran Stanley urged Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow to “send out a strong message” that the Penang government would not compromise with unethical and corrupt practices and would live up to high standards of integrity and good governance.
“In the event Zenith is found to have been involved in corrupt practices by MACC or the independent audit, the state should enforce clause 14.5 ‘Termination on Corruption’ as per the preliminary agreement.” It was also investigating payments of RM305 million to the companies that conducted the feasibility study of the mega project.
