MACC Chief Commissioner Datuk Seri Abd Halim Aman highlighted the significance of such collaboration between enforcement agencies in exposing corruption. The syndicate, comprising 11 individuals, was arrested on Tuesday night and is currently being held until September 14 for further investigations. The syndicate allegedly bribed enforcement officers to manipulate vehicle ownership records. The MACC and RTD's six-month partnership in sharing intelligence led to the discovery of this illicit network, reinforcing the necessity of close cooperation to maintain the integrity of government services and deter unscrupulous activities.",
