MACC arrests ex-TH chairman, ex-Treasury sec-gen in RCI report probe
MACC chief Abd Halim Aman confirms the arrests of the two men at the agency's headquarters in Putrajaya at about 4pm.
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) arrested a former Tabung Haji (TH) chairman and a former Treasury secretary-general on Thursday evening. The two men, both in their 60s, were apprehended at MACC's headquarters in Putrajaya around 4pm, according to a post on MACC's TikTok account. They are expected to appear before the Putrajaya Magistrates' Court the following day for a remand hearing.
MACC Chief Commissioner Abd Halim Aman confirmed the arrests. This is the latest in a series of anti-graft actions by MACC, which previously detained seven individuals, including four ex-high-ranking TH officials, to help with their investigation into the royal commission of inquiry (RCI) report on TH.
