KUALA TERENGGANU, Feb 22 (Bernama) -- The Terengganu Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) today arrested a member of the state executive council (exco) on suspicion of abusing his position by arranging employment for his two children at a state-linked company.
Sources said the man, in his 60s, was arrested at around 11.15 am at the Kemaman MACC office.
“Initial investigations indicate that the alleged acts occurred in 2018 and 2020.
