KANGAR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has arrested two men in connection with an investigation into false claims involving more than RM2mil in 2022.
According to a source, the duo, aged 43 and 50, were detained on Tuesday (June 17) afternoon when they turned up to give their statements at the Perlis MACC office here.
They are believed to have used five construction companies to undertake maintenance, upgrading and repair works at five secondary schools in Perlis, involving an allocation of RM2.459mil.
The source said the men were released on MACC bail of RM10,000 with one surety at 9.30pm.
The two individuals were previously arrested by the Selangor MACC in 2023 and charged in Kuala Lumpur under Section 420 of the Penal Code in connection with a project in Selangor.
Perlis MACC director Mohd Nor Adha Ab Gani confirmed the arrest and said the case was being investigated under Section 18 of the MACC Act 2009. – Bernama
