The MACC arrested a government department director today on suspicion of misusing her position to recommend her husband’s company to supply food and drinks for a programme in 2017.
According to an MACC source, the woman, in her 50s, was arrested at about 11pm at the Penang MACC office in George Town after showing up to provide her statement.
“Based on preliminary investigations, the suspect is believed to have misused her position while serving as an officer in North Seberang Perai near here… by recommending a company owned by her husband involving supplying food and drink worth about RM4,000,” the source said, adding that the suspect was also remanded today.
Penang MACC director S Karunanithy confirmed the arrest when contacted, adding that the case is being investigated under Section 23 of the MACC Act 2009 and will be charged on Thursday.
