JOHOR BARU (Jan 10): A company managing director and an engineer, who were detained by the Johor Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) over false claims involving a temporary bridge construction project in Segamat on Sunday (Jan 9), are being remanded for six days from Monday.
The remand order was issued by Magistrate Nurmardiana Mamat in the Magistrate’s Court here on Monday.
Both men, aged 41 and 52, were arrested at the Johor Baru MACC office after appearing to give statements at 7pm on Sunday.
The two individuals were detained to assist in the investigation into suspicion of submitting false claims worth more than RM250,000 for the project six years ago.
According to a source, between 2016 and 2020, the two men conspired in submitting false claims to a government department in the Segamat district for a temporary bridge construction project worth more than RM4 million, but the works mentioned in the claims had not been implemented.
Johor MACC director Datuk Azmi Alias, when contacted, confirmed the arrest and said the case is being investigated under Section 18 of the MACC Act 2009.
