The Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) today refuted claims that its mayor, Zamani Ahmad Mansor has been arrested by the MACC for investigation over tenders for projects in the city.

In a statement today, MBSA said Zamani (above) was only called by the MACC last Wednesday to assist in the investigation.

"The Shah Alam Mayor returned to work as usual yesterday. We would also like to emphasise that MBSA is always prepared to extend its cooperation in the investigation by MACC," it said.

Yesterday, the media reported that MACC had uncovered a cartel believed to be monopolising project tenders in the local council, following a raid on the local authority's office last Sunday.

MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki said so far nine individuals, including several MBSA staff and a senior officer, had been arrested to assist in the investigation.
