The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) will not hesitate to call upon any individual involved in the National Feedlot Centre (NFC) funds case, said the commission's investigation director Mustafar Ali.

Speaking after launching the 'KL Principle Code of Ethics for SMEs' in Kuala Lumpur today, Mustafar said anyone who was linked to the case, including the company's senior management, would be called in to facilitate their investigation.

He said so far police have arrested a suspect with a 'Datuk' title and handed him over to MACC yesterday.

"The suspect, a businessman, is said to be closely linked with the NFC case but we're still scrutinising the whole case to see if he is really involved and the investigation will be carried out as earnestly and professionally as possible," he said.

Meanwhile, deputy inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar said he could not reveal details of the case yet, as investigations were ongoing.

Speaking during a press conference at the Selangor police headquarters in Shah Alam, he said the man in remand was believed to have been involved in several attempts to bribe the police and a domestic maid cheating case in Ipoh.

Meanwhile, Bukit Aman Commercial Crimes Investigation Department director Syed Ismail Syed Azizan said the businessman was arrested about 4 pm yesterday for attempting to bribe several senior CCID officers who were in the process of investigating commercial crime cases.

He said the suspect, who owned a foreign workers agency and taxi company was picked up three weeks ago on a cheating case in Cheras and was wanted for another cheating case in Bercham, Ipoh.
