MACC extends remand of trio in vehicle graft


PUTRAJAYA: Two company owners and a ministry agency official arrested by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission for corruption in approving commercial vehicle licences have had their remand extended.

An MACC source said the three male suspects, who were among eight people arrested under Ops Loader on Wednesday around the Klang Valley and Melaka, had their remand extended until Jan 15.

Several agency officials allegedly conspired with the company by preparing fake information and managing the application process to let unqualified commercial vehicles undergo Puspakom checks.

“Based on intelligence (gathered), bribes imposed were between RM3,000 and RM20,000 depending on the type and age of the vehicle,” the source said yesterday, reported Bernama.
