BUKIT MERTAJAM: The Malaysian Anti Corruption Agency (MACC) has detained two police corporals on Saturday for accepting a RM 500 bribe to release an ice lorry.

The offence falls under Section 17(a) of the Malaysian Anti Corruption Act.
When contacted, Penang MACC director M. Samarajoo confirmed the arrests but declined to elaborate further.
