BANGI, September 27 — The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is intensifying its investigation into the RM4 billion 1BestariNet project, focusing on the quality of broadband services provided to 8,000 schools nationwide. MACC Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki emphasized that investigators must determine whether the promised data and broadband speeds were delivered as required by the contract awarded to YTL Communications Sdn Bhd in 2011.
The investigation, initiated on September 4, includes a review of payment claims amounting to RM2.7 billion and the scrutiny of potential false details under the MACC Act 2009. Azam noted that the case is complex, involving visits to multiple schools across the country, and will take time to complete as officers examine documents seized from YTL and government offices.
