KUALA LUMPUR, July 2 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in Sabah has arrested a senior manager of a government-linked company (GLC) on suspicion of soliciting and accepting RM16,000 in bribes in return for securing repair works under the GLC.
According to a source, the male suspect, in his 50s, was detained at 4 pm today when he came to the Sabah MACC office to give a statement.
