KUALA LUMPUR: Sembrong Member of Parliament Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein has denied that his efforts in helping the government to look for and bring back Low Taek Jho or Jho Low was to be avoided being investigated by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
The former Defense Minister said that it was true that he had committed any offense regarding corruption, the MACC would certainly carry out an investigation and charge him.
"What has the MACC got against me? … I did not commit any corrupt practice, if there are charges, the MACC has not called me until today for investigation.
"I am not involved in this matter (corruption), if people say I am afraid of the MACC, let the MACC itself be exposed (the corruption case)," he told reporters at the Parliament lobby yesterday.
Hishammuddin was asked to talk about his effort to assist him in his search for JPC Low MACC on him.
Meanwhile, he also said that he was among the 40 names of UMNO Members of Parliament who were said to be crossing over to Party Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu).
"I have stated several times that I do not leave the party … there is an English saying that 'action speaks louder than words', so my action today is that I never left the party," he said.
Meanwhile, commenting on the tabling of Budget 2019 on Friday, he hoped that the Defense Ministry could continue with the aspect of sensitivity and welfare shown by the previous government. – Bernama
