Pahang dismisses MACC on land clearing

The Pahang Government wants the MACC to produce evidence of the allegations in its report.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Pahang Government has reportedly taken the position that theres no evidence of politicians and the palace being involved in illegal land clearing in the Cameron Highlands, as alleged by the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission in a report on July 22.

It was learnt that a meeting of the Pahang National Security Council meeting on July 22, chaired by Pahang Menteri Besar Adnan, dismissed the MACC report on the grounds that it was hearsay.

The Pahang Government wants the MACC to produce evidence of the allegations in its report, according to sources privy to the July 22 meeting. To say that the state government does not take action when confronted with facts is unfair.

Adnan has since been reminded by the Malay press not to overstay his welcome. He also stands accused by the Malay press of being arrogant.
