The Sarawak MACC is awaiting further instructions from its headquarters over allegations that certain high-profile individuals in the state are involved in corruption.

“We have handed over the latest information on the claims to the headquarters and so far, have not received any instruction on action to be taken,” said Sarawak MACC director Razim Mohd Noor.

He said his office would investigate the matter if there were reports lodged.

However, if the reports concerned high-profile individuals, the matter would be referred to the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya first, he told reporters after a press conference on 'Semarak Pertiwiku' musical theatre in Kuching today.

Razim said this in response to media reports yesterday which said more than 50 reports on corruption, including those which allegedly involved high-profile personalities, had been lodged with the state MACC.
