PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has begun investigations into allegations that Tan Sri Robert Phang Miow Sin tried to bribe a government official last year. A source familiar with the case said a representative from Malay rights non-governmental organisation, Perkasa, lodged a report yesterday over the allegations which surfaced on a blog.
"The blog postings alleged that Phang tried unsuccessfully to get a top-level civil servant to accept a T-shirt that was stuffed with an envelope containing an undisclosed amount of cash in return for a favour involving a RM900 million government contract," the source disclosed.
It is understood that investigations have just begun although the MACC will record Phang and the civil servant's statements.
Calls have been made to the MACC to investigate Phang, who is a member of its Consultation and Corruption Prevention Panel.
The blog at http://anotherbrickinwall.blogspot.com named Phang and even posted his picture, alleging that he tried to offer the bribe before Hari Raya at the office of a ministry's secretary-general to induce the award of RM900 million worth of contracts by the ministry.
