SHAH ALAM: Three individuals, including a woman, were remanded for three days to facilitate the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) investigations into a case involving false claims amounting to about RM300,000 six years ago.
According to a source, the remand order was issued by Shah Alam Magistrate's Court on Saturday (Sept 10).
"All three suspects aged between 34 and 56 were detained at the Selangor MACC office last night when they came over to record their statements.
The three detained were a contractor, the owner of a construction supply company and a former parent-teacher association (PTA) chairman of a school in Selangor.
"They were believed to have submitted false claims amounting to almost RM300,000 to the school’s PTA for the construction of a new block when in fact works were not completed,” added the source.
Selangor MACC director Datuk Alias Salim, when contacted, confirmed the arrest. - Bernama
