Malaysia's Coalition Partner Seeks Royal Inquiry into Anti-Corruption Agency Allegations

Malaysia's Democratic Action Party (DAP), a key member of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's ruling coalition, has called for a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) to investigate allegations of misconduct within the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). Reports, citing internal documents and witnesses, claim MACC officials aided businessmen in seizing company control, which MACC denies as baseless. DAP leaders plan to propose the RCI formation at an upcoming cabinet meeting, while the government has already set up a special committee to examine related issues.
