PUTRAJAYA, Dec 18 2013 (Bernama)-- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak today handed over the letters of appointment to 24 members of three independent panels of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
These panels - the Complaints Committee (CC), the Operations Review Panel (ORP) and the Consultation and Corruption Prevention Panel (CCPP) - are oversight bodies serving as a check-and-balance mechanism to monitor the MACC's roles and functions.
The CC members are former Court of Appeals judge Datuk Mohd Noor Abdullah; Datuk Muhammad Mohd Nor; Datuk Wan Abdul Wahab Abdullah; Ravindran V. Muthu and Datuk Amar Wilson Baya Dandot. Wilson is a new member of the CC, which is chaired by Mohd Noor.
The ORP comprises eight members, namely Tan Sri Dr Hadenan Abdul Jalil (as the chairman); Tan Sri Cecil Abraham; Datuk Dr Hamzah Kassim; Datuk Zamani Abdul Ghani; Datin Aminah Pit Abdul Rahman; Prof Dr Syed Noh Syed Ahmad; Nik Mohd Hasyudeen Yusoff and Walter Doss Sandosam.

The appointment of the CC members is for the 2012-2015 period and that of the ORP and CCPP, for the 2013-2015 period.
A statement issued to the media said the CC, ORP and CCPP are three of the five independent oversight bodies established to ensure transparency and accountability in executing the MACC's legal obligations.
The ORP and CCPP were established through administrative order while the CC was set up through the provision of the law.
The two other independent bodies are the anti-Corruption Advisory Board (ACAB) and the Special Committee on Corruption (SCC).
