Probe land deal, says Ipoh Timur MCA man

Star - The MCA must set up a panel to investigate the land deal involving the Ipoh Timur division chief and a soya sauce factory at Pasir Pinji here, a committee member of the division said.

Calling for the probe to be conducted within 14 days, Ipoh Timur MCA division committee member Andy Low Kim Piau said the supposed transaction had tarnished the party's image.

"I am giving the party 14 days to investigate the matter. Failing which, I reserve my right to lodge and police and ACA (Anti-Corruption Agency) report," Low said at a press conference Wednesday.
