The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) arrested two employees of a Perlis statutory body for allegedly misappropriating RM600,000 between 2020 and 2024. The suspects were detained when they appeared to give statements at the MACC office and luxury items, including jewelry, were seized.
KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti- Corruption Commission ( MACC ) has arrested two employees of a Perlis statutory body , including an account manager, on suspicion of abusing their power and misappropriating RM600,000. According to MACC sources, the two female suspects, aged between 30 and 40, were detained when they appeared to give statements at the commission's Perlis office at 1pm on Tuesday.
Preliminary investigations found that the two suspects may have committed the fraudulent activities between 2020 and 2024. The commission also seized luxury items, including jewellery valued at approximately RM100,000, believed to have been acquired through the illicit acts, sources revealed. A four-day remand order until Jan 11 was issued by Magistrate Nurshahida Abdul Rahim following an application by the commission at the Kangar Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday. Meanwhile, state MACC director Mohd Nor Adha Ab Gani confirmed the arrest and said that the case is being investigated under Section 23 of the MACC Act 2009. ‘We will also examine the governance aspects to identify any weaknesses in the system and procedures related to the management of receipts and expenditures at the statutory body, aiming to eliminate any gaps and prevent future abuse of power,’ he said.
