He said the probe was carried out by officers of the board's investigation unit.
"I don't have the detail but I am made to understand that there are indeed investigations being carried out on a number of cases, including on those holding top posts," he said.
He was speaking to reporters after tabling a working paper at the "Anti Corruption Summit - Zero Tolerance for Corruption" organised by the Asian Strategy and Leadership Institute and Transparency International Malaysia here.
Megat Najmuddin said he was not directly involved in the investigation because board members cannot be the investigators, prosecutors and jurists at the same time.
He said action would be taken on anyone found to have breached party discipline.
"If we have proof we will call them to testify but we need strong evidence otherwise it will be difficult for us to act," he said.
He also said that there was nothing wrong with treating a person to a meal or paying for someone's fuel as long as there was no ulterior motives in doing so.
"The amount of bribe is not important. The measure of culpability lies in the intention. If you give RM50 to buy votes, it is political corruption or money politics," he said.
Megat Najmuddin also welcome Umno vice-president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin's proposal to restructure the Umno Disciplinary Board to strengtnening it further. -- BERNAMA
