MACC Denies Issuing Statement on Slim By-Election Bribery Allegations

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has stated that it did not issue a media statement concerning investigations into alleged bribery during the N58 Slim state by-election. A fabricated statement claiming MACC was investigating such claims, including the receipt of a viral video depicting voters being offered money, had been circulated on social media.
False Media Statement Circulated Online

A media statement, purportedly from the MACC, falsely asserted that the agency was investigating bribery allegations within the Slim state by-election. This fabricated statement gained traction on social media platforms, including claims that MACC had confirmed receiving a video showing voters being offered money.
Call for Information on Corruption

Despite the circulation of the fake statement, the MACC has urged all individuals possessing information related to corruption or misconduct during the recently concluded Slim state by-election to come forward. The commission encourages the public to channel any relevant information to either MACC or the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM).
