PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission has taken statements from six people over its graft probe involving a high-ranking BA of Malaysia (BAM) official.
Its chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said some witnesses have been called up and investigations are on going.
"Our investigators are still looking into the issue involving allowances but I must stress that this was only concerning one individual and not the entity.
"As of now we have recorded statements of six individuals, he told reporters after attending the International Anti Corruption Day event here today.
Azam said the individual in question would also be called to have a statement recorded in due time.
On Dec 3, it was reported that MACC had launched a graft probe into a high-ranking BAM official.
A week earlier MACC investigators visited the Academy Badminton Malaysia.
BAM secretary-general Datuk Kenny Goh had confirmed the matter.
"They (MACC officers) wanted to check some files.
According to a credible source, a poison pen letter was sent to MACC, alleging that a high-ranking officer from BAM had been receiving an allowance without approval from the BAM council.
The source said five officers from MACC were present at the BAM headquarters in Bukit Kiara on Nov 26 to examine several documents as part of their investigation.
