KUALA LUMPUR: The Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) is investigating howa little-known IT company with little experience became the local partner in the RM1bil project to upgrade the Royal Malaysian Police’s communication systems from analogue-based to digital.

The project has since been scaled down.

According to sources, the ACA was also probing how a Singapore-based company, several of whose directors are Israeli nationals, was awarded a slice of the project when it was against the Government’s directive to do so.

The Israelis are said to be former officers in the Israeli Air Force.

The upgrading of the communications system would enable traffic policemen, those in mobile patrol vehicles and beat-duty policemen to communicate with each other and with their control centres.

The sources said the authorities had begun their preliminary inquiries into the companies to ascertain whether there was any irregularity in the awarding of the project and whether they could pose a security risk.
