PUTRAJAYA: A director of a company listed in Bursa Malaysia has been arrested by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) for alleged corruption and criminal breach of trust (CBT).
The woman’s husband, 63, who is the former CEO of a different company, was also arrested by the anti-theft agency on Monday morning (November 23).
A MACC source said the arrest of the two is to assist in the commission’s investigation into corruption and CBT allegations in the amount of RM140 thousand.

The two are expected to face various charges under Section 18 of the MACC Act and Section 409 of the Penal Code.
Under Section 18 of the MACC Act, a convicted person could face a maximum of 20 years in jail and a fine of not less than RM10,000 or five times the amount of the bribe.
Under section 409 of the Penal Code, which covers the CBT, a person faces a prison term of between two and 20 years, spanking, and a fine.
