A source from MACC says the suspect, who was attached to a real estate investment holding firm, was arrested at the agency’s Selangor office yesterday.
A former general manager of a real estate investment company has been held in custody for two days on suspicion of abusing his position to secure personal benefits, according to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). The 30-year-old suspect appeared in Shah Alam Magistrates' Court after being arrested by MACC officials at their Selangor office on suspicion of misconduct between 2023 and 2025.

These actions allegedly violated standard operating procedures, according to preliminary investigations conducted by the MACC.
Speaking to reporters, MACC Director Azwan Ramli confirmed the arrest and stated that the case will be investigated under Section 23 of the MACC Act 2009, which pertains to the misuse of office or position for personal gain or gratification. No further details about the suspect's identity or the allegations against him were provided by the source.
