"Investigators will not be selective in handling a number of cases of suspected corruption," said Imam in Teluk Kuantan, quoted by Antara, Tuesday, May 4.

The construction of the three building project known as the Tiga Pilar has cost a lot of money, but until now it has not been optimally utilized by the community.

The project, which is considered a Kuansing icon, shows that there are still abandoned buildings, such as hotels, modern markets and the campus of the Islamic University of Kuantan Singingi.

"Therefore, it needs to be addressed, examined the possibility of corruption in it," said Imam.
