PETALING JAYA: Several high-value items, including luxury watches and handbags, were seized following searches at the Malaysian Army office and a senior military officer’s residence. “However, MACC seized several luxury items believed to be linked to the case,” the source said yesterday. MACC investigations are currently focusing on the flow of funds suspected to have entered the bank account of the senior military officer, allegedly in connection with the army procurement projects. Last week, a team of MACC officers visited Mindef to trace projects implemented through open tender procurement as well as procurements under the Army’s Responsibility Centre (PTJ). Initial investigations revealed that between 2023 and 2025, there were 158 military procurement projects valued at more than RM500,000 each, while another 4,521 projects were worth below RM500,000.
