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) has arrested a former Tabung Haji (TH) chairman and a former Treasury secretary-general in connection with the royal commission of inquiry (RCI) report on TH, according to a statement from the agency. The two men, both in their 60s, were apprehended at MACC's headquarters in Putrajaya around 4pm.
The arrests were confirmed by MACC chief commissioner Abd Halim Aman. They are set to appear before the Putrajaya magistrates' court the following day for a remand application. This move comes after MACC had previously arrested seven individuals, including four former senior TH management members, to assist in their investigation into the recently declassified RCI report. The report's revelations have prompted investigations by both the police and MACC.
