KUALA LUMPUR - The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) detain a government agency department head, with the title ‘Datuk', over alleged power abuse and corruption, in connection with an appointment of a company for the purpose of vehicle purchase in 2017.

The 40-year-old man was nabbed at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya at 8 pm yesterday (Oct 17), when he was present to give a statement.

He has been remanded for four days until Oct 21 to assist in the investigation.
