MACC vetting not a criminal probe, graft busters say after Rafizi's questions

Published: Feb 6, 2026 10:48 AM

MACC has defended its vetting processes relating to the promotion of public officers, following doubts raised by PKR MP Rafizi Ramli.

The former economy minister had previously pointed to the power abuse cases involving former army chief Hafizuddeain Jantan and former armed forces chief Nizam Jaffar as proof that MACC vetting is inadequate in preventing allegedly corrupt public servants from being promoted.
