MACC tightens grip on defence and government contract corruption

About this video

Luxury watches and handbags, frozen bank accounts, and an ICU bed — the MACC isn’t holding back this week.

The Malaysian Anti‑Corruption Commission has been intensifying investigations into alleged corruption in the Army’s procurement projects.

On Saturday, officers raided the office and residence of a senior Army officer, seizing luxury items and freezing six bank accounts linked to him and his family.

The officer was due to give a statement on Sunday but was rushed to the ICU, delaying proceedings.

Meanwhile, investigators are questioning key witnesses and examining records from around 40 companies suspected of offering bribes related to Army contracts.

Separately, MACC has also recorded a statement from a former minister over allegations of receiving a RM5 million bribe and a Lamborghini, linked to the approval of a land transfer and several projects in the city.

MACC Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki confirmed that both probes are ongoing under Sections 16 and 17(a) of the MACC Act. Officers continue to obtain documents and scrutinise financial flows, as the commission presses ahead with its investigations.

From luxury watches to Lamborghini-linked bribes, MACC’s work this week shows it’s keeping a close eye on both defence and government contracts — and we’ll be watching the story as it develops.
