The Commission clarified that if any of the alleged offences fall outside of its jurisdiction, then it will refer the matter to other authorities to investigate.

It follows recent revelations that Tabung Haji had been illegally paying out dividends, despite having more debts than assets.

Separately, the MACC is now gathering evidence on Cameron Highlands MP Datuk C. Sivarraajh, who's been accused of corrupt practices. 

It comes after the Election Court's recent decision to nulify his victory in GE14, for offering money in exchange for votes.

Sivarraajh has denied the accusations.

Meanwhile, the MIC has confirmed that it will not be appealing the court's decision to nulify the result, paving the way for a by-election for the Cameron Highlands parliamentary seat.
