KUANTAN - Pahang police chief Datuk Yahaya Othman has confirmed that one of the state’s district police chiefs was detained by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) today.

It is understood that the MACC will be applying for a remand order on the 53-year-old senior police officer tomorrow.
