Former Terengganu Leaders May Be Questioned By ACA Over TTI Project, Monsoon Cup Probes

KUALA TERENGGANU, July 30 (Bernama)-- The Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) has not ruled out the possibility of former Terengganu leaders being called to assist its probes into alleged wrongdoings in the implementation of the Islamic Civilisation Park (TTI) project in Pulau Wan Man and the holding of the Monsoon Cup sailing championship in Pulau Duyong.
Terengganu ACA director Sharuddin Sapian said the agency always practised a policy of responsiveness and transparency and did not "pick and choose" who to call to assist its investigations.
"We will call just about anyone we feel is necessary for the smooth running of our investigations," he said when contacted here Wednesday.
He said earlier probes by the agency into the two projects had found no wrongdoing but in light of statements made by Terengganu Menteri Besar Datuk Ahmad Said pertaining to them on Friday, the ACA had reopened the cases.
"We are also waiting for Datuk Ahmad to return from Mecca to assist us in our probe. He might have information that can be helpful," he said.
Meanwhile, Sharuddin said investigations into the high maintenance costs of 16 state-owned Proton Perdana V6 Executive cars, which exceeded RM1.07 million in four years, were in the final stages.
He, however, declined to say if any persons would be charged in court soon over the matter.
Ahmad, who is performing the umrah in Mecca, is scheduled to return to Terengganu on Aug 5.
Efforts by Bernama to contact him in Mecca were unsuccessful.
