KOTA KINABALU, March 20 — The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) arrested a Sabah state government department head for allegedly asking for bribes in the form of sexual services from a woman yesterday.
The 51-year-old man, who is based in Keningau, was arrested at a hotel in Keningau at 3.30 pm.

Sabah MACC director S Karunanithy confirmed the arrest when contacted today.
He said the suspect was detained for 24 hours before being released on a RM10,000 bail on one surety.
He said the suspect was being investigated under Section 17(a) of the MACC Act 2009.
