Khalid says he welcomes any party including the MACC to review and investigate all contracts he signed while MB of Selangor.
PETALING JAYA: Khalid Ibrahim said the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) was more than welcome to investigate any agreement he signed during his tenure as Selangor Menteri Besar.
Among those he said MACC could have a go at, were the Selangor water restructuring deal and the Canal City development agreement.
“I welcome all parties, including the MACC to review and investigate all the agreements signed when I was Menteri Besar of Selangor.
“My lawyer will prepare a full statement on this matter,“ Khalid posted on his Facebook page.
This retort from Khalid came in the heels of a new directive from PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim who has instructed Menteri Besar Azmin Ali to expose every company and individual who benefitted from the water deal signed by Khalid while he was Menteri Besar.
Anwar said, “I do not care if people are profiting from it. I do care that it is the people of Selangor who are having to pay for it.”
He added that someone had to answer to the people for having to bear the burden of others earning billions from dubious deals that could very likely raise water tariffs.
Anwar also accused Khalid of not following procedure as the contracts did not go through a proper tender exercise. He lamented over the lack of transparency and expressed his unhappiness that many of these contracts were signed in a hurry by Khalid just before leaving office.
