KUALA LUMPUR (June 12) Newly-minted Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Latheefa Koya said the commission would be investigating the report lodged by Umno Supreme Council member Datuk Lokman Nor Adam against a senior cabinet minister, but it would be helmed by her deputy. 

Latheefa in a statement today said the MACC investigates all reports professionally and impartially.  

"The investigation in this case will be handled under my deputy and his investigation team." 

"I will not be involved in any way, whether in investigations or decision making," she said. 

Latheefa was a PKR member and had once held the post of central committee member, before resigning the party post to take up the position of MACC chief commissioner. 

Yesterday, Lokman lodged a report with the MACC over bank documents that had been circulated, along with a sex video implicating the minister. 

The bank documents allegedly showed large amounts of money had been paid by a government-linked company to the minister's overseas bank account in 2017. 

Earlier today, an aide to a deputy minister, Haziq Aziz, confessed he was the person in the video and that it implicated the minister. 

Police are also investigating the video clip. 

Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad today said he does not know about the clip.
