KOTA KINABALU: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has arrested a project manager suspected of submitting false claims of approximately RM800,000.

According to sources, the male suspect, in his 50s, was detained at around 10 am today when he appeared at the Sabah MACC office to provide a statement.

Preliminary investigations suggest the suspect allegedly committed the offence between 2014 and 2018 by submitting false claims to a state government department for a road construction project that was not fully completed.

Sabah MACC Director Datuk S Karunanithy confirmed the arrest and stated that the case is being investigated under Section 471 of the Penal Code.

After giving his statement, the suspect was released on RM10,000 bail with one guarantor and is expected to be charged at the Kota Kinabalu Special Corruption Court tomorrow (Friday).
