Скачать или смотреть RM2.1mil fraud: Ex bank foundation CEO, NGO chairman arrested

A former chief executive officer of a bank foundation and a non-governmental organisation (NGO) chairman, have been arrested for allegedly making false claims worth RM2.1 million.

The suspects, men aged 30 and 50, were detained by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) yesterday, according to a source.

The source said the men have been remanded for five days until Aug 31 after the MACC applied for their remand at the Putrajaya Magistrate's Court today.

He said, preliminary investigations indicate that the suspects colluded to submit false claims amounting to RM2.1 million to a foundation for an education fund programme that was never implemented.

MACC senior investigations director Datuk Zainul Darus confirmed the arrests, saying the case was being probed under Section 18 of the MACC Act, which carries up to 20 years’ jail and a fine of RM10,000 or five times the false claim’s value.
