Two Perlis civil servants remanded in probe into RM300,000 missing funds
KANGAR: Two staff at the Perlis state Treasury Office have been remanded for three days beginning today over a probe into alleged missing funds worth nearly RM300,000 between 2018 and 2019.
Magistrate Ana Rozana Mohd Nor granted the remand order following an application by Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) when the duo, both aged 44, were presented to the Kangar magistrate's court today.
According to a source, the suspects were being probed for alleged power abuse in approving payment transactions under the state's iSPEKS system totalling RM297,734.64 into banking accounts belonging to their relatives and friends between 2018 and 2019.
"One of them serves as an assistant accountant with grade W32 while the other is an Information Technology assistant officer grade FA32.
"The payments that were swindled by the suspects were supposed to be paid to suppliers appointed by the Perlis state government.
"Some of the payments have allegedly been swindled by being directed through 51 transactions paid to an account belonging to the first suspect's mother-in-law between March 2018 and June 2019," said the source.
