THE Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has detained a company managing director for allegedly using fake documents to secure a government tender worth RM22 million in July 2018.

A Kedah MACC source said the 33-year-old man was detained at a restaurant in Kajang, Selangor, at noon yesterday.

“The suspect used documents containing false details by ordering and forcing two of his staff to produce forged bank statements to bid for cleaning works at a government department in Kedah worth RM22 million,” he said, adding the company secured the project that same year.

The suspect has been remanded for seven days.

Kedah MACC director Shaharom Nizam Abd Manap confirmed the matter. – Bernama, September 30, 2020.
