False Claims Totaling Over RM2.1 Million Lead to Remand of Former CEO and NGO Chairman

A former chief executive officer of a banking institution-owned foundation and the chairman of a non-governmental organisation (NGO) have been remanded for five days, until August 31, in connection with alleged false claims amounting to over RM2.1 million. The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) arrested the two male suspects, aged in their 30s and 50s, after they provided statements.
Allegations of Conspiracy in False Claim Submission

Investigations suggest that both suspects conspired to certify and submit documents containing false information. These documents were reportedly used to claim an allocation from a foundation, with the total sum of the false claims exceeding RM2.1 million. The MACC's preliminary findings indicate a deliberate act of submitting misleading information to secure funds.
Education Fund Aid Claimed Despite Non-Execution of Programs

The false claims specifically involved aid purportedly for an education fund. However, the MACC stated that the programs for which this aid was claimed were not carried out as detailed in the submitted applications. This suggests a misrepresentation of activities to obtain financial support.
Investigation Under MACC Act 2009

The case is currently being investigated by the MACC under Section 18 of the MACC Act 2009. This section pertains to the act of making false or misleading statements to obtain or retain property or benefit. A magistrate granted the remand order for both suspects following an application made at the Magistrate’s Court.
