KOTA KINABALU - A former senior manager of a government-linked company (GLC) was arrested by the Sabah Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to assist investigations into a bribery case involving RM170,000.

The 51-year old suspect was detained at the MACC office, here, at about 9.30am, today, after he turned up to give his statement.

According to a source, the suspect was believed to have accepted the bribes in a form of cash and had renovated his house which was estimated to be worth RM170,000 from a contractor in return of helping with all the payment claims for works carried out by the contractor.
