Johor Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission director Azmi Alias has promised to take "drastic actions" within the next few days following a spate of high-profile graft cases in the state.

"There will be drastic actions taken by Johor MACC in these next one or two days," said Azmi in his speech at an anti-corruption pledge-signing ceremony with the Kluang Municipal Council this morning.

However, he declined to reveal what these "drastic actions" are, Berita Harian Online reported.

"That will have to wait. I can't elaborate further, we must wait," he told reporters after the event.

In his speech, he noted that issues surrounding corruption in the state have been neglected and such actions was necessary to correct the situation.

"I am touched because the palace, Johor Menteri Besar Mohamed Khaled Nordin and state-secretary Azmi Rohani are supporting the move to free Johor from corruption.

"In fact, Johor's Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar has also issued a decree for the state to be clean of graft," Azmi reportedly said.

He said he nearly shed tears upon hearing of the sultan's commitment and support from the state government.

MACC had on Feb 25 seized 21 luxury cars, five high performance bikes and RM500,000 in cash, as well as frozen 45 accounts with over RM15.5 million in them, in a case involving bribery and abuses linked to real-estate in Johor.

Six individuals, aged between 25 and 50, were also arrested with regards to the case.

Those arrested included the son and special officer of a senior state government official Abd Latif Bandi, two developers, a lawyer and a civilian believed to be involved in the case.

Abd Latif has since gone on leave to "clear his name".

Announcing this, fellow exco member Jais Sarday stressed this does not mean Abd Latif is implicated in the matter.

The New Straits Times on March 1 quoted sources who said Sultan Ibrahim was "furious" over the matter and that Khaled was even more outraged.
