KAJANG: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said MACC has no authority to determine whether an individual who is involved in corruption is eligible to contest in an election.
He said the eligibility to contest is under the purview of the Election Commission as the regulator on elections.“We in MACC only investigate on issues related to corruption or corruption offences under the Election Offences Act 1954. On whether one can contest or not is up to EC. "So far, I have seen that those charged in court have been allowed by the EC to contest. We have always cooperated with the EC, such as opening an MACC operation room at every election," he said.
