PETALING JAYA: In response to news reports, Sapura Energy Bhd

says it has not been contacted by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) regarding investigations into alleged bribery and fund misappropriation.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the group said it acknowledged recent news reports that stated the MACC had opened two probes into the allegations.

“Sapura Energy is fully committed to cooperating with the MACC and will provide all necessary information as required to support inquiries.

“As a responsible, publicly listed entity, we uphold the highest standards of corporate governance, transparency, and integrity in all our operations,” it said.

A local news wire, citing sources last Friday, reported that an investigation by the MACC is being carried out based on the results of its initial probe at the end of 2023.
