JOHOR BARU: A 34-year-old manager has been detained by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) for allegedly submitting false claims worth over RM110,000.
The suspect, who works at a private company, was detained at the Johor MACC office at around 8pm on Monday (April 14), it was learnt.
A source said that the suspect had earlier submitted claims to the Johor Fisheries Department regarding the supply, delivery and authorisation of equipment to aid recipients, amounting to over RM110,000.
He was detained because there was false information in the claims filed, as the alleged supply of the items were not implemented in full.
Johor MACC director Datuk Azmi Alias, who confirmed the incident, said the case was being investigated under Section 18 of the MACC Act 2009.
The suspect would also be brought to the Magistrate’s Court here for a remand order.
