KUALA LUMPUR: Selangor Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has detained two company owners allegedly suspected of supplying agreement documents with false details to obtain an investment sum of approximately RM200,000 for a sand supply project.
The agreement written up for a sand supply project in a district of Selangor was never executed.
A two-day remand order starting from today until Dec 7, 2023, was issued by Magistrate Mohamad Syafiq bin Sulaiman after the MACC filed the request at the Shah Alam Magistrate's Court earlier this morning.
Yesterday, the MACC arrested two suspects, a man and a woman both in their 40s, believed to have been detained around 3.30 pm yesterday at the MACC Selangor office when summoned to give statements.
Sources say that both suspects are believed to have collaboratively used documents containing false details to deceive two business members, including a 'Datuk', for a sand supply project in 2022.
Meanwhile, Selangor MACC director Datuk Alias Salim, when contacted, confirmed the arrests and stated that the case is being investigated under Section 18 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009.
