SHAH ALAM - The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has remanded a deputy director of a government department over suspicion of accepting bribe amounting to RM3,000.
According to a source, the bribe was given by a company to secure a supplier job in a building located in the Sarawak district.
The source said the male suspect, who is in his 40s, was arrested at around 7pm yesterday at the Kuching MACC office when he came to give statement.
