The MACC denied issuing a statement about a corruption investigation involving the Public Services Department (PSD) director-general, dated Aug 23, 2023, that is circulating on social media.

The graftbuster said in a statement today that the act of issuing such a fake statement was clearly malicious and misleading to the public.

“As such, the public is advised not to spread or share any uncertain or false information,” the commission said regarding a media statement titled ‘SPRM Siasat Dakwaan Rasuah Melibatkan Ketua Pengarah Perkhidmatan Awam Datuk Dr Zulkapli Mohamed’ (MACC Investigates Corruption Allegations Involving the Director-General of Public Services Datuk Dr Zulkapli Mohamed) that was falsely claimed to have been issued by the commission.
