PKR to rally outside MACC offices nationwide

PKR president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail says party members will rally in support of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). – The Malaysian Insider pic, August 8, 2015.PKR president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail says party members will rally in support of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). – The Malaysian Insider pic, August 8, 2015.PKR will rally outside each Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) office in the country in support of the graft buster after two of its top officers were abruptly transferred to the Prime Minister's Department yesterday, PKR president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail said.
The opposition leader said she would also order every PKR member to lodge a police report over the transfer of MACC director (Special Operations) Datuk Bahri Mohamad Zin and director of strategic communications Datuk Rohaizad Yaakob.
She expressed shock that the two were reassigned to a different department almost immediately after they had met with several opposition lawmakers, including herself.
"Because the interference and threats towards MACC officers are clearly ongoing, I shall order all PKR members to lodge police reports and gather in support of MACC at all MACC offices across the country."
Bahri and Rohaizad are expected to report to the Prime Minister's Department on Monday after being transferred there with immediate effect yesterday.
On Thursday, Rohaizad had met with Dr Wan Azizah, New Hope Movement pro-tem chairman Mohamad Sabu and DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang during a gathering in support of the agency outside its office in Putrajaya.
MACC came under the spotlight after its office was raided and several of its senior officials and officers hauled up by the police as part of investigations over a leak in an official probe into the controversial 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) scandal.
MACC is investigating a company called SRC International Sdn Bhd, a former subsidiary of 1MDB. 
Bahri, who was one of seven officials questioned by police over the past week, has been vocal in his comments on the arrests, and has vowed to root out the mastermind.
He had hinted of hidden hands in the police action although police denied the allegation, saying that it was their prerogative to investigate.
The MACC officials are being investigated under Section 124 of the Penal Code and the Banking and Financial Institutions Act 1989 for leaking government documents and banking information.
Other MACC officers hauled up by the police include the agency's forensics division head Datuk I.G. Chandran and its senior assistant commissioner Tuan Ruslan Tuan Mat, special operations deputy director Datuk Tan Kang Sai, former MACC adviser Tan Sri Rashpal Singh and an officer with the Attorney-General's Chambers, Jessica Gurmeet Kaur.
Police also raided the MACC special operations division office and the office of its deputy public prosecutor Ahmad Sazilee Abdul Khairy, taking documents related to the 1MDB probe.
Police said they would investigate members of the special task force handling the probe into 1MDB after the Attorney-General's Chambers on July 8 said that information leaks on the matter were a "criminal act of leaking classified documents to foreign nationals".
