**KWAP Probe Finds No Criminal Elements So Far, Says Malaysian Anti-Graft Chief**
Market Impact
PETALING JAYA, Aug 13 — No criminal or corruption elements have been found in the investigation into the investment activities of the Employees Provident Fund (EPF), known locally as Kumpulan Wang Persaraan (Diperbadankan) or KWAP, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) said on Wednesday.
MACC chief commissioner Datuk Seri Abd. Halim Aman said the full investigation would only be completed once financial documents and information from foreign banks in countries such as Singapore and Indonesia are obtained. He noted that 19 individuals, including KWAP officers, Finance Ministry officials, and Khazanah Nasional Berhad staff, have been called in for statements so far.
**Malaysia Market Impact** No arrests have been made as the MACC deems them unnecessary at this stage, though the probe remains ongoing. Abd. Halim said the domestic phase of the investigation is nearly complete, with efforts now focused on securing Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) from foreign jurisdictions to gather further evidence.
**Details from the Source** The MACC is still identifying and contacting witnesses abroad to provide statements. Abd. Halim assured that the MLA process is proceeding without legal obstacles, though it may take time due to procedural requirements. He did not specify a timeline for completing the investigation.
**Outlook** The probe’s next phase hinges on international cooperation to obtain financial records and testimonies from overseas. Until then, the MACC will continue gathering domestic evidence while awaiting foreign assistance. No further updates were provided on potential policy or market implications.
