A DEPARTMENT deputy director at the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has been arrested by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) at a hotel in KL early today.
It is learned that the man was picked up on suspicion of receiving a bribe, believed to be amounting to RM200,000, from several contractors as an inducement to approve a project involving the City Hall.
MACC deputy chief commissioner (operation) Azam Baki said the MACC, during its raid, also found cash amounting to RM1 million at the man’s house.
“Also arrested were five individuals suspected to be involved in bribery involving the same agency,” he said.
In Putrajaya, magistrate Shah Wira Abdul Halim allowed a five-day remand application on the individuals, aged between 41 and 57, upon the application from the MACC to facilitate investigations.
