KANGAR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission on Monday arrested two policemen from the Kubang Pasu mobile patrol unit for their alleged involvement in corruption. The duo, believed to be a sergeant and a corporal aged between 30s and 50s were detained at the Kedah-Perlis border. Perlis MACC director Yaacop Angah said in a statement that the duo were arrested to assist in investigations over a case of soliciting bribe amounting to RM4,000 from a Ketum leave distributor. The amount was allegedly an inducement for not taking any action against a Ketum trafficker who had recently been detained by the police. Yaacop said the case is being investigated under Section 17(a) of the MACC Act 2009.
