PETALING JAYA: Kedah Football Association vice-president Radhi Mat Din has confirmed that its CEO, Zulkifli Che Haron, was remanded by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) yesterday.

Reports had said the anti-graft agency obtained a three-day remand order for four individuals, including the CEO of a football club in a northern state, to facilitate an investigation into a corruption case involving RM6 million in 2020.

Describing Zulkifli as “hardworking”, Radhi expressed shock over the arrest but said he did not have more information.

“We have to give (MACC) time to carry out its investigation.

“Kedah FA will hold a special meeting today or tomorrow as we need to look into this,” Radhi, who is also the Kedah youth and sports, consumer affairs, and cost of living committee chairman, told reporters in Alor Setar, Bernama reported.

Yesterday, a source told Bernama that RM6 million was given as kickbacks to allow a company owner to obtain a tender to build a racetrack and another project to operate and maintain five water reservoir plants in the state.
