The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), will question 10 more witnesses in their investigation into the three-highway and undersea tunnel project in Penang.

MACC deputy chief commissioner of operations, Datuk Seri Azam Baki reported that the MACC had already recorded statements from 76 witnesses and will now look towards the technical aspect of the case.

He was speaking to reporters after visiting the MACC headquarters in Kota Bharu, Kelantan earlier today.

Previously on January 25th, a chairman of an engineering consultancy firm who is a 'Datuk Seri' was remanded for five days to assist investigation into the case.

He was alleged to have been involved in preparing documents for fraudulent claims involving more than RM305 million to the Penang government purportedly for feasibility studies on the project.
