A Malaysian civil servant has been detained for six days on charges of accepting bribes amounting to approximately RM30 million from multiple companies. In return, the suspect allegedly facilitated a reduction in assessment tax payments totaling RM140 million. The remand order was issued by Magistrate Ezrene Zakariah at the Putrajaya Magistrate's Court following an application from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
The suspect, in his 50s, will remain in custody until October 26 to aid in the ongoing investigation. He was apprehended at around 12:30 AM while hiding in a hotel in the Klang Valley. Preliminary findings indicate that the alleged offenses took place between 2025 and 2026. MACC's chief commissioner, Datuk Seri Abd Halim Aman, confirmed the arrest upon request.
The case is being examined under Section 16(a)(A) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009.
