KLANG: The Selangor State Government is prepared to cooperate with the authorities following an investigation into alleged corruption involving the Selangor Menteri Besar Incorporated (MBI).

Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari urged all parties not to make any statements or accusations that could disrupt the investigation.

"We are very open to investigations of this state institution, and (the investigating agencies) are given space and very good cooperation by the state and the agencies, as this (investigation) will also ensure integrity continues to be upheld in institutions like MBI.

.".. if there are procedural errors, we will rectify the procedures, but if it involves criminal matters, that is for the relevant authorities to take further action, which is beyond the state's jurisdiction," he said when met after attending a village chiefs retreat programme here today.
