The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has detained a former CEO and an ex-chief financial officer of a company linked to the statutory body Tabung Haji as part of its investigation into the findings of the royal commission of inquiry (RCI) on TH. The two men, aged 68 and 60, were arrested on suspicion of abusing their positions in the RM370 million purchase of shares in two plantation companies.
They were nabbed after providing their statements at MACC’s headquarters in Putrajaya at about 6.30pm yesterday but were later released due to health reasons and are scheduled to return to the MACC headquarters at 10am today to continue giving their statements. MACC chief commissioner Abd Halim Aman confirmed the arrests and said the case is being investigated under Section 23 of the MACC Act.
