"Everyone is the same and no one is accorded special treatment. Even if he is a menteri besar, he has no power to stop our investigation," he said when contacted by Bernama last night.

He was commenting on a call by the Anti-Corruption Advisory Board for the MACC to continue its investigations into corruption cases regardless of the status or background of the individuals involved.
