Under the operation on March 16, MACC froze 11 bank accounts involving a total of RM100,000 in connection with an investigation into corruption cases involving the late registration of births from non-citizens to citizens, as well as using false supporting documents in the birth registration process.
MACC also detected the involvement of several doctors in illegally preparing birth registration documents.
