The government must expedite investigations into the claims by 60 British investors that they lost RM12 million through the fraudulent practises of a telecommunications company linked to former Umno treasurer Abdul Azim Mohd Zabidi, a minister said today.

Governance and Transparency Minister Paul Low said he first learnt about the case a few months ago, as a newly-minted minister in May, but he took a wait-and-see position.
