KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 2 — Maritime industry expert Datuk Seri R. Jeyenderan today questioned why an international maritime trade issue involving petroleum cargo worth more than RM220 million had yet to receive a clear answer from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), when the commission had moved swiftly on cases involving politicians.
Jeyenderan, who is chief executive officer of Maritime Network Sdn Bhd, directed his questions at the MACC chief commissioner over a report he lodged on June 5. It concerns alleged discrepancies between the bill of lading and the physical movement of petroleum cargo at Tanjung Langsat, Johor.
“Why is the MACC continuing to remain silent on this issue? Why does it appear that cases involving politicians are being given special attention, while an issue involving international maritime trade has yet to receive a clear answer?” he said in a statement today.
