Gobind, the digital minister, pointed out that it had been about two months since the Cabinet ordered multiple agencies, including the police, to investigate the allegations made in a Bloomberg report.

He said transparency was paramount, and urged Khalid to reveal whether those named in the report had been questioned, as well as to outline the next steps in the investigations.

“Given the specific allegations involving named companies and individuals, the probe must be exhaustive, extending to every person, entity, and MACC officers implicated in the complaints.

“This is a matter of significant public interest, as the integrity of our markets and national institutions is at stake. Such serious allegations cannot be left unchecked and must be resolved strictly in accordance with the law,” he said in a statement.

The Damansara MP said it would also be apt for the Securities Commission Malaysia to disclose what steps it had taken to investigate the allegations.

“If there is market manipulation involved, and this is by use of force or any other measures to transfer shares in any company, then the SC would also have jurisdiction over the matter.

“They must tell us if they have looked at this aspect of the case and whether any action will be taken against anyone found to have committed offences or abetted any offences in the matter and, if so, when,” he said.

Last month, Khalid said police had identified several people linked to the investigations, with some currently abroad, and did not rule out seeking international cooperation to locate them.

He also said no MACC officers had been summoned for questioning to date.

The Bloomberg report had claimed that a network of businessmen and MACC officers used raids and investigations to pressure executives into selling shares in targeted companies, prompting calls for thorough, multi-agency investigations.
