KOTA BARU: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has recorded five cases of Kelantan government officers allegedly committing various offences related to graft and abuse of power.
Kelantan MACC director, Datuk Moh Samsuddin Yusof, said the officers, aged 30 and above, were detained in separate operations in the state since early this year.
He said the alleged offences include accepting bribe money and making false claims amounting to RM400,000.
“Between early this year and last month, (the state MACC) arrested five individuals alleged to have committed offences under the MACC Act. They are expected to be charged in court soon," he said.
Moh said this to reporters after attending a new anti-graft campaign called “Anti-Corruption Revolution Movement”, or “Gerah”, at Lembah Sireh here, today.
The Gerah campaign, which was launched nationwide today, is part of the commission's effort to ensure all Malaysians regard corruption as public enemy number one.
