MELAKA: A 42-year-old NGO representative has been arrested by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) on suspicion of soliciting and accepting bribes from a businessman to secure him the honorary title of "Datuk Seri".

The suspect, a mother of four and a former reporter with a state-owned media outlet, is believed to have deceived the victim into paying RM48,000 so that he would be conferred the title during a Melaka state investiture ceremony last year.
