The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is prepared to investigate some current issues involving Felda Global Ventures Holdings Bhd (FGV).

MACC deputy chief commissioner (operations) Azam Baki however, said MACC would need to study the report made if there were elements of abuse of power or corruption.

"Yes, MACC will study the report first if it was under the purview of MACC or otherwise, and MACC will only investigate if there were elements of corruption or abuse of power,” he told Bernama in Kuala Lumpur today.

Earlier today, the FGV board of directors ordered its group president/chief executive officer Datuk Zakaria Arshad and the group chief finance officer to go on leave following an investigation conducted by audit firm, Pricewaterhouse Coopers which could not be made public.
