PUTRAJAYA, July 23 — Two district officers, who had also held the posts of municipal council presidents in Selangor, were detained by the Malaysian Anti-corruption Commission yesterday for receiving bribes from a project contractor and housing developer.
According to MACC sources, the former YDPs, both aged 47, and the 42-year-old contractor were detained at the MACC headquarters here, when they turned up to give their statements late last night after several raids were also made in Selangor linked to the case yesterday. “It is estimated that the monopolised projects amounted to millions of ringgit from 2018 to 2021,” said the source.
Various forms of bribes had been given to the former YDPs involved including a house worth RM1 million, cash RM500,000 and tour packages to Europe to approve development plans of a housing developer, said the source.
