KUALA LUMPUR (June 5): The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is currently seizing documents connected to the sale of 64 lots of Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) land from 2013 to 2018, reported the New Straits Times.

A source told the English language daily that a team of five MACC officers arrived at the DBKL Menara 1 at around 2pm “is now in the Economic Planning and Development Department watching its staff sorting out the documents”.

The source also said two more officers are about to join the five and a said “a one-tonne lorry” will be used to take the documents to MACC’s HQ in Putrajaya.

On May 16, Kepong MP Lim Lip Eng lodged a report with the MACC to investigate 64 parcels of land sold by DBKL under the purview of the former Federal Territories minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor from 2013 to 2018.

According to Lim, the 64 lands have a combined area of 424.29 acres and a total transaction value of RM4.28 billion.

Less than half of the lands were sold for Federal Territories Affordable Housing (RUMAWIP) development while the rest were meant for expensive residential and commercial products priced at market value, he alleged.

“All of the lands were sold without open tender and most of them were transacted at below the market price at that time and without having gone through a valuation report.”
