KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has received three new vehicles for its Anti-Corruption Tactical Squad (ACTS), as part of efforts to enhance operational capabilities in combating corruption-related crimes.
The vehicles, comprising two Weststar Maxus V80 Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) and one Toyota Hiace, were handed over by Global Komited Sdn Bhd.
"The SPVs have been modified with equipment and upgraded with the latest systems to meet the operational needs of the MACC's ACTS Tactical Team during current field assignments," it said in a statement.
MACC Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki officiated the handover during the ACTS New Vehicle Introduction and Officer Accreditation Certificate Presentation Ceremony held at MACC headquarters today.
Fifteen MACC officers were officially commissioned as ACTS officers following their completion of the Advanced Special Operations Training (ASOT), which is recognised under the 'Subject Matter Expert' designation.
