Three Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officers interviewed Selangor executive councillor Ronnie Liu for two hours today at his office in the state secretariat building in Shah Alam.

Contacted later, the DAP state rep said the officers came to his office around 10.30am.

Liu, who has been categorised as a witness in the ongoing probe, was quizzed on eight documents, which the MACC had already obtained from Wong.

He said the documents were regarding expenditure for the constituency, with the total amount not exceeding RM20,000.

"The investigation was very thorough, but I am confident everything is in order, and the expenditure is clean.

"There are photographs, identity cards of the recipients and vouchers to prove this," he added.

According to the state exco, the MACC officers appeared satisfied with his answers.

Liu, who is the Pandamaran state assemblyperson, said he also urged the MACC to clear Wong's name as soon as possible if there is no case against him.

Wong, who is on MACC bail, was asked to present himself at the Selangor MACC office on Oct 20 but was then told to return on the same date next month.

NONE On Aug 14, Wong sustained injuries to his leg when he resisted arrest leading to a scuffle between him and MACC officers.

Liu said it was unfair to drag the matter, as this prevents his special assistant from moving around freely.

This is the second time that MACC officers had visited his office.

Previously, they had seized his visitors' logbook following the allegation that his office had been frequented by underworld figures.

'Worried about my case'

Meanwhile, Liu said he is not overly concerned about Wong's case as there is enough evidence to prove that no wrongdoings had taken place.

However, he is worried about his case.

The DAP politician was charged last November with obstructing Subang Jaya Municipal Council enforcement officers from carrying out an anti-vice raid at a hotel in Puchong in 2007.

"After the sentence imposed on (PKR MP) Tian Chua yesterday, I am now quite worried about my case," he added.

NONE The PKR Batu parliamentarian was sentenced to six months jail and fined RM3,000 after he was found guilty of biting a policeman during a protest rally in 2007.

If the sentence is upheld following appeal, Chua ( right ) would lose his MP post.

According to the law, an elected representative would lose his or her post if the person is jailed for more than 12 months or slapped with a RM2,000 fine.

If found guilty, Liu could face a jail term not exceeding two years or a maximum fine of RM10,000 or both.
