THE Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission) has been called upon to investigate allegations of a former senior minister’s involvement in large-scale renewable energy projects under the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR).
Mohd Zaidi Amin, an individual whistleblower, told reporters that media reports from 2021 and 2023 had highlighted the participation of certain companies in major green energy initiatives.
He claimed the former senior minister had launched NETR, which included several large-scale catalytic projects, and that media reports specifically referenced the involvement of these companies in hybrid solar projects linked to the country’s energy transition policies.
"Based on an official search at the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) dated 13 July 2019, it shows that the former minister was one of the principal shareholders in the company involved," he said.
Mohd Zaidi made the remarks after submitting a report and related documents to the SPRM headquarters here on Monday.
He urged the commission to investigate whether there were elements of abuse of power, undue influence, corruption, or direct allocation of projects to parties with personal interests.
He stressed that his actions were motivated by public interest and the principles of transparency and accountability in governance.
"This is not to accuse any party, but to ensure that a professional, independent, and thorough investigation can be conducted by the authorities to uphold the integrity of government and public confidence.
"I believe that transparent governance and clear management of conflicts of interest are fundamental to the success of the national energy transition agenda and to prevent any negative perceptions of the administration," he said.
The call for investigation follows a similar appeal last Friday, when three non-governmental organisations visited the MACC headquarters to press for a probe into the same former minister’s role in a government agreement with a foreign company involving nearly RM1.1 billion in funds. - February 16, 2026
