KUALA LUMPUR: Former human resources minister Datuk Seri M. Saravanan questioned why the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) did not clarify that his 12-year-old son was not required to attend its headquarters before he brought him there on Monday.

In a Facebook post today, Saravanan said they were only informed after entering the premises that his son was not required to sign anything and could return home.

"If he did not need to be there, why was this not clarified before a 12-year-old was brought to an anti-corruption headquarters?" he wrote.

Earlier, Saravanan criticised the agency's explanation, describing it as "entirely illogical" for his 12-year-old son to appear at its headquarters.
