Five individuals, including a Datuk, were arrested by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) for allegedly abusing their power in the disposal of government agency land in Penang Island. The suspects are believed to have sold eight lots of land in Seberang Perai South in 2015 to a company at a lower price than the market value, resulting in a loss of approximately RM1.96 million. The suspects, aged between 40s and 50s, were arrested while giving statements at the MACC office in Penang and remanded for four days to assist in the investigation under Section 23 of the MACC Act 2009.
