The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has detained former Felda chairperson Isa Samad.

According to a source, he was detained in connection with the purchase of two hotels by the Felda Investment Corporation (FIC).

Isa was detained at about 4.24pm, some two hours after he turned up at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya to have his statement recorded over the purchase of the hotels - one in London and another in Sarawak - between 2014 and 2015.

The MACC also reportedly raided Isa's residence in Selangor.

MACC chief Dzulkefli Ahmad said the raid was to facilitate investigation into the FIC probe...
