KUALA LUMPUR: A senior government official, who used his company to supply the agency he is serving with facemasks and thermometers, is expected to be hauled to court tomorrow.
The 58-year-old 'Datuk' was arrested this afternoon by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) at their office in Shah Alam.
The New Straits Times was made to understand that the man had charged his agency RM47,910 for the items. He is expected to be remanded tomorrow at the Shah Alam Courts.
This arrest was part of a larger crackdown by the MACC on corruption.
Earlier today, two senior officers from statutory bodies were also remanded for allegedly abusing their power and misappropriating RM1.2 billion from Finance Ministry funds intended for a development project.
The graftbusters today also confirmed that they are investigating 10 tube well projects by state-owned water company Air Kelantan Sdn Bhd (AKSB) that failed to function. These projects, worth some RM300 million, were carried out by AKSB between 2008 and 2015.
