A source from MACC said that the suspect, who is a company director, is believed to have conspired in the application of workers in 2023.

“The female suspect, in her 40s, was detained at around 5pm yesterday when she came to Selangor MACC’s office to provide her statement,” the source said.

The source also said magistrate Wan Noora Nisa Ngadirin granted a five-day remand order for the suspect today.

Selangor MACC director Alias Salim confirmed the arrest, with the case being probed under Section 18 of the MACC Act 2009.

Yesterday, it was reported that a Bangladeshi director of a company with a “Datuk” title was nabbed by the anti-graft agency over the same case.

A source in MACC said the suspect, in his 40s, had submitted two quota applications involving a total of 600 workers for a non-existent project.

The two applications involved payment of about RM460,000 and RM650,000 in levies.

The man was arrested at 9pm on Tuesday after having his statement recorded at the Selangor MACC office and is under remand until Nov 17.
