Kok's statement comes in the wake of criticism regarding her decision not to report her former aides, who were arrested for allegedly soliciting and receiving a substantial bribe linked to approving funds for school equipment. She indicated that her parliamentary speech on the matter should suffice as a notification. The article details the recent arrest of two of Kok's aides concerning a RM1.5 million allocation for interactive smartboards, a sum Kok denies approving for electronic equipment for 16 schools. While the aides were released on bail, questions arose about why Kok did not file a formal report, a move suggested by former MP Datuk Ibrahim Ali, who cited a violation of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act. The report also touches on the financial details of the allocation and the actual cost of the smartboards, with a dealer claiming a significantly lower price. Kok also expressed personal sentiment towards one of the dismissed aides, whom she had known for an extended period. The core assertion is that law enforcement agencies possess the inherent authority to commence investigations based on grounds other than formal complaints.",{"@graph":69,"@context":123},[70,84,106],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":40,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/macc-can-act-without-a-report-says-kok/131666/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/macc-can-act-without-a-report-says-kok/131666.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Ava
