THE Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in Selangor today arrested two men suspected of corruption in a RM900,000 contract to supply necessities to flood victims.

Sources said the first suspect is a former operations manager of a foundation, who is believed to have misused his position to recommend the company belonging to the second suspect, a relative, to supply the necessities last year.

The sources said the two suspects, who are in their 30s, were arrested at about 2.30pm yesterday at the Selangor MACC office when they were told to give statements.

Selangor MACC director Alias Salim confirmed the arrest and said the case is being investigated under section 23 of the MACC Act 2009.

He said the two suspects would be brought to a magistrate’s court in Shah Alam tomorrow for the remand application. – Bernama, July 25, 2023.
