The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has launched an investigation into a senior military official regarding alleged irregularities in the procurement of defense assets. This follows a report from the Ministry of Defence highlighting potential misappropriation of funds. Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil stated that the government remains committed to transparency and will not tolerate corruption within the security forces.

The probe is part of a larger crackdown on "leakages" in government spending. Investigators are currently reviewing documents and questioning several individuals related to the multi-million ringgit contract. The outcome of the investigation is expected to have significant implications for how future defense procurements are handled in Malaysia.
