Enforcement agency personnel among four remanded over animal feed claims
KUALA LUMPUR: An enforcement agency personnel was among four people remanded for five days for allegedly submitting false documents in claims involving the supply of animal feed worth RM1.8 million.
Four individuals, including an enforcement agency employee, have been held for five days after allegedly submitting false documents in connection with claims for animal feed supplies, according to a report by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). Magistrate Aina Azahra Ariffin granted the remand until September 19 as a result of a MACC application at the Kuala Lumpur court.
The four suspects, aged between 40 and 60, were apprehended around 9 pm the previous day at the MACC office after providing statements. The other suspects comprised a former enforcement agency staff member and the director and administrative manager of a private company. Preliminary investigations revealed that the four allegedly conspired to commit the offense between 2021 and 2023.
They are suspected of submitting false details in claims for animal feed worth approximately RM1.8 million, even though the actual value of the supplies was less. Mohammad Zakkuan Talib, the director of Kuala Lumpur MACC, confirmed the arrests, stating the case is being investigated under Section 18 of the MACC Act 2009.
