THE Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has remanded a former company owner and a former Chief Financial Officer, on suspicion of submitting false details for about RM8.1 million for machine rentals, facilities and waste disposal services.
Magistrate Irza Zulaikha Rohanuddin allowed the two suspects to be remanded for a day (May 27, 2025) after an application was made by the MACC at the Putrajaya Magistrate's Court this morning.
According to sources, the two male suspects, aged between 40 and 50, were arrested at about 6.30pm yesterday when they appeared to give statements at the MACC Headquarters.
“Both suspects are believed to be involved in corruption and money laundering for the supply of machine rental services and facilities between 2019 and 2021.
“In addition, the investigation is also focusing on claims for garbage disposal services that occurred from January to October 2022 and also the receipt of bribes,” he said.
The source said the investigation is also looking at other criminal offences under the Penal Code as well as money laundering offences.
Through Op Flora carried out by the Special Operations Division (BOK) at 11 premises around the Klang Valley and Negeri Sembilan yesterday, the MACC froze 76 bank accounts consisting of individual and company accounts involving about RM1.68 million.
Meanwhile, MACC Special Operations Division Senior Director Datuk Mohamad Zamri Zainul Abidin when contacted confirmed the arrest of all suspects and said that the case is being investigated under Section 18 of the MACC Act 2009. – May 27, 2025
