PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) today arrested a Melaka state assemblyman as part of an investigation into the misappropriation of funds linked to the National Blue Ocean Strategy (NBOS).
MACC said Hasan Abd Rahman, who also chairs the State Assembly Development and Coordination Committee (Japerun), was arrested alongside the committee’s clerk Khuzaiman Abdullah.
MACC chief commissioner Latheefa Koya said both have been released on bail, and will be charged at the Ayer Keroh Sessions Court in Melaka tomorrow.
“The case is related to the misappropriation of allocations for the Strategic Linkage Initiative given to Japerun under the Melaka NBOS in 2016,” said Latheefa.
