KUALA LUMPUR – The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has detained a civil servant on suspicion of soliciting and accepting approximately RM30 million in bribes related to tax assessments from 2025 to this year.

According to MACC sources, the illicit acts by the 50-year-old man are believed to involve several companies in exchange for helping reduce tax assessments totaling RM140 million.

"The suspect, who is a public sector unit director, was detained at around 12:30 midnight while hiding in a hotel in the Klang Valley," the source said.

Sources added that a six-day remand order against the suspect until next Monday was issued by Magistrate Ezrene Zakariah following an application made by the MACC at the Putrajaya Magistrate's Court this morning.

MACC Chief Commissioner Datuk Seri Abd Halim Aman, when contacted, confirmed the arrest, and stated that the case is being investigated under Section 16(a)(A) of the MACC Act 2009.
