The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) will take action against four men, including three with the title "Datuk", for allegedly abusing a cooperative under their charge in the coming days.

MACC chief commissioner Datuk Dzulkifli Ahmad when commenting on reports related to abuse of power in a cooperative said: "Wait for the MACC to take action shortly."

Asked if the four men would be arrested or remanded in a few days, Dzulkifli, without letting the cat out of the bag, answered: "Insya Allah".

It was reported the men, most of them being board members of a cooperative of a government-linked company (GLC), had allegedly abused their position to not only introduce their own multi-level marketing (MLM) system in the cooperative, but also technically force its members to sign up.

It is reported those who applied for loans would have their applications approved if they signed up for the MLM. This will cost them RM6,700 and in return, they will get beauty products, supposedly worth that much.

He was speaking to reporters when met after distributing bubur lambuk (porridge) packets at a Ramadan bazaar here today in conjunction with Anti-Corruption Revolution Movement (Gerah) campaign.

MACC has also distributed the porridge to the public at four other locations in Putrajaya including the Putrajaya police headquarters, Putrajaya Fire and Rescue Department, Putrajaya Hospital and Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque.

In another development, Dzulkifli denied claims that a police officer who was found dead with a gun shot on his forehead at Pasir Puteh Police Headquarters was connected to the MACC.

"There is no report connecting MACC to the case at all," he said when asked to comment on the claims that the officer was being investigated by the MACC which led to his suicide.
