KUALA LUMPUR: Johor Ruler Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar (pic) has granted an audience to the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission (MACC) following his allegations that he was offered a RM2mil bribe as an endorsement for a 'Tan Sri' title.

​

It is reported that MACC chief Datuk Dzulkifli Ahmad met with the Johor Sultan at a luxury condominium in the city centre.

​

Dzulkifli arrived at the location around 8.30am, Monday and the meeting lasted until 9.40am.

​

He however refused to entertain the awaiting press before leaving.

​

Sultan Ibrahim also refused to divulge the details of the meeting to the media.

​

"I am going shopping," was all he said.

​

Last Saturday, the outspoken ruler wrote on his official Facebook page he was offered RM2mil to suggest the person's name to the Chief Secretary of Malaysia for a "Tan Sri" title.

​

He said he was ready to reveal information pertaining to those trying to buy him over to MACC and wanted the matter to be investigated.

​

In a statement, the MACC said they have identified an individual based on information given by Sultan Ibrahim.

​

 

"MACC will ensure that a transparent investigation will be conducted and an appropriate action will be taken in accordance to the law.

​

"MACC is honoured to have the support and commitment by the Sultan Ruler in combating corruption and abuse of power in the country, especially in Johor," it said.
