The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission is now after federal agencies in their probe into the projects awarded to Shamsuddin Haryoni during the tenure of former Selangor menteri besar Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo who is currently facing graft charges.

This follows yesterday's handing over of case files to the commission by the current Selangor Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim's political secretary Faekah Husin.

NONEAccording to Faekah, (left) two officers visited her at her office at the State Secretariat Building in Shah Alam at about 2.30pm to enquire about the list of projects awarded to Shamsuddin, which she had revealed in a press statement on Jan 19.

"They asked me about my statement which was published by Malaysiakini about how the projects were awarded through direct tender.

"I gave them the names of the projects, the companies involved, their value and the case files which also name the federal departments and authorities involved like the JKR, and told them to go after these agencies as they would have more information," she said when contacted today.

No request for documents before

Faekah added that the officers agreed to do so after the 40 minute "friendly" meeting, but she will also be checking with the relevant departments to see if MACC follows up as advised.

"There were allegations that the state government was trying to cover up the issue because state officers were involved, so I released the statement (on Jan 19) to clear the air on that, with no malice," she said.

She added that the documents were only de-classified by the state executive council on Dec 16, and that until yesterday, the anti-corruption agency had never asked the state for any assistance before or after Mohamad Khir's was charged on Dec 6.

He was accused of obtaining for himself and his wife Zahrah Kechik two plots of land and bungalow at No 8 & 10, Jalan Suasa 7/1 L, Shah Alam, from Ditamas Sdn Bhd through Ditamas director, Shamsuddin, for RM3.5 million when in fact the lots were bought by Ditamas on Dec 23, 2004, for RM6.5m.

The Sungai Panjang assemblyperson was charged under Section 165 of the Penal Code in which he, as a public servant, is alleged to have obtained valuables "without consideration from a person concerned in any proceeding or business transacted by such public servant".
