MACC remanded a chairman and treasurer of a non-governmental organisation (NGO) and a company director on suspicion of submitting false documents involving a basic food donation programme worth about RM5 million.
Magistrate Ezrene Zakariah issued a four-day remand order until 28 February 2026 against the three suspects after an application was made by MACC at the Putrajaya Magistrate's Court this morning.
According to sources, the three suspects - two men and a woman in their thirties were detained between 3 and 5 pm yesterday when they appeared to give statements at the MACC Putrajaya headquarters.
“Initial investigations found that all the suspects, including the treasurer, who is also a director of the company involved, are suspected of abetting the act from 2021 to 2023.
“The suspects are believed to have submitted documents containing false details related to the basic food donation programme with the intention of misleading the NGO where the chairman and treasurer serve, to get payments of about RM5 million.”
Meanwhile, the Director of the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Division, Datuk Norhaizam Muhammad, when contacted, confirmed the arrest and said that the case is being investigated under Section 18 of the MACC Act 2009. – February 25, 2026
