PUTRAJAYA: A company director and an association president were among 22 individuals detained by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in operations carried out in seven states yesterday to assist in the investigations into the misappropriation of funds from the Malaysian Indian Community Transformation Unit (Mitra).

According to MACC sources, the 22, who also comprised the secretaries of associations and organisations, were arrested in operations carried out in Perak, Selangor, Kedah, Johor, Kuala Lumpur, Negeri Sembilan and Melaka.

The sources added 337 companies, associations and non-governmental organisations had earlier been identified to have been approved grant allocations by MITRA from 2019 to 2021, with an allocation of about RM203mil. In October 2021, the MACC arrested 18 individuals involving 10 companies, organisations and NGOs to assist in investigations into the misappropriation of funds.

According to the sources, the MACC had also collaborated with the National Unity Ministry to form a special internal investigation team to focus on companies that received allocations of less than RM1mil.
