Johor MACC Arrests 2 Family Members for RM90,000 False Claims

A father and son were arrested by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) for allegedly making false claims of almost RM90,000 to a government agency. The suspects, aged 50 and 25, were detained after giving their statements at the Johor MACC office. They submitted false claims in 2020 for the government’s wage subsidy program, attaching a list of eligible workers but never received the subsidy. The case will be investigated under Section 18 of the MACC Act. Both suspects were released on MACC bail.
