ALOR SETAR: The headmistress of a special needs school in Sungai Petani has been arrested for alleged abuse of position by purchasing school supplies through her two companies from 2019 to 2021.
A source in the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission in Kedah said the 58-year-old woman was detained at the Sungai Petani MACC office after giving her statement.
