The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is not investigating the corruption case involving AirAsia and jet engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce PLC, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Paul Low said.

"As of now, there is no statement that can link any party to any offence under the MACC Act 2009 regarding the case probed by (UK's) Serious Fraud Office (SFO)," Low said in a parliamentary written reply today.

However, he said, the MACC welcomes any information on this case that any individual can furnish.

Low also said the MACC had cooperated with the SFO.

On Jan 21, it was reported that the SFO had named AirAsia Group as one of several foreign parties involved in bribery cases with jet engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce PLC.

The bribery in the AirAsia deal was one of 12 charges brought against Rolls-Royce after a four-year investigation into its dealings with clients in Indonesia, Thailand, India, Russia, China and Malaysia.
