ALOR SETAR:
Three women were among 21 people detained by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission over the submission of falsified bank statements to a waste management company.

An MACC source said the suspects, aged 31 to 77, were arrested separately around Bangi, Selangor, and the Kedah MACC office here today.

“Those arrested were believed to have submitted company bank statements with falsified details to a waste management company to qualify for a northern region solid waste collection tender,” the source said tonight.

Those arrested included the owner, directors and managers, along with the company’s contractors.

The MACC is also tracking down others believed to be involved in the case. It is also trying to obtain vital documents and recording statements from several witnesses.

The source said MACC was not denying the possibility of more arrests related to the case.

Kedah MACC director Shaharom Nizam Abd Manap confirmed the arrests.
