KUALA LUMPUR, Vantris Energy Bhd, formerly known as Sapura Energy Bhd, clarified that it is not under investigation by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and has not received any notification of allegations involving the company, its directors, or current officers.
The clarification follows MACC’s recent announcement on the planned forfeiture of funds allegedly misused by an undisclosed party in 2018, linked to the group.
“We wish to assure our clients, partners and stakeholders that our operations, finances, and access to assets and bank accounts remain unaffected,” the company said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia today. Vantris Energy added that it has cooperated with MACC in the past and will continue to provide any assistance required by the authorities.
The company emphasised its strict anti-bribery and anti-corruption policies, supported by internal controls to mitigate risks. “As a listed entity, we remain committed to the highest standards of governance, transparency and integrity across the organisation,” it said.
On Tuesday, MACC announced plans to recover RM12 million believed to be linked to two cases involving Sapura Energy. MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said the recovery, approved by the deputy public prosecutor, will proceed accordingly.
