HOW MURKY: MACC probe on Kedah state secretary, yet exco members in the dark

HOW MURKY: MACC probe on Kedah state secretary, yet exco members in the dark
ALOR STAR - Two Kedah executive council members said they were not aware that its state secretary Datuk Wira Mohd Puat Mohd Ali was investigated for irregularities by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
Health committee chairman Datuk Dr Leong Yong Keong said the matter was never discussed during any meeting.
“I never knew anything about this. It was also not mentioned in the audit report ... I do not know why,” he said.
“I would have known about it if the matter was raised during our meetings.”
Tourism, religion and Thai affairs committee chairman Datuk Mohd Rawi Abd Hamid said the Malay Mail report came as a shock to him.
“He is my close friend. I am shocked after reading the news as Mohd Puat is a hard working civil servant who always strives to improve himself in his work,” he said.
“In fact, he has just returned from a short course in Harvard.”
Mohd Rawi said since Mohd Puat, who is a cousin of former Kedah menteri besar, the late Datuk Seri Azizan Abdul Razak, claimed the state Public Services Department had cleared him of any irregularities, MACC should clear him of any criminal elements.
Kedah DAP secretary Teoh Boon Kok, however, called on the state government to launch a full-scale investigation.
“The state secretary investigated by MACC on irregularities in awarding contracts worth about RM3 million is difficult for us to swallow,” he said.
Teoh called on Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir to look into the matter as it involved a civil servant in the state government.
Mohd Puat, when met outside the state legislative assembly building at Wisma Darulaman yesterday, avoided further queries.
“You are (talking) nonsense,” he said before walking off. -Malay Mail
