PUTRAJAYA: Far too many companies that were supposed to channel aid to those who needed it during the Covid-19 pandemic had instead chosen to profit from government programmes, said the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

Its deputy commissioner Datuk Seri Ahmad Khusairi Yahya described these companies as “economic opportunists” who subscribed to the “culture of greed”.

“But what has happened? There was a large group of individuals, companies and organisations that took the opportunity to profit from the rights and sufferings of the affected people. Ahmad Khusairi said as a result, those who needed government assistance and those who should have received the benefits and assistance were marginalised.

Ahmad Khusairi said the MACC viewed the misappropriation and leakages as serious issues, adding that a special operation carried out throughout last year along with other agencies saw 133 company owners and directors arrested.
