MyEG says MACC has cleared its name

In a filing to Bursa Malaysia, the service provider says the anti-graft agency sent them a letter to confirm the matter.

KUALA LUMPUR: MyEG Services Bhd and its board of directors are not under investigation, nor is it a party to the investigation leading to charges against former deputy prime minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

“The company received a letter from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission confirming and clarifying that MyEG and its directors are not under investigation, nor a party to the investigation leading to charges against Zahid,” it said in a filing to Bursa Malaysia here today.

Earlier, MyEG shares on Bursa Malaysia were heavily traded following news that the company had been implicated in the charges against Zahid.

He was alleged to have received 10 cheques worth RM5 million to help a company secure a MyEG project.

In addition, he allegedly received RM250,000 in his capacity as home minister to help a consulting company get a MyEG project.

Zahid was also charged with receiving 13 cheques totalling RM8 million to help a company secure a MyEG project.

Zahid has claimed trial to all the charges.

Trading in the shares of MyEG was suspended from 2.30pm and will resume on Oct 22 (Monday).
