The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has identified the individual who tried to offer the Sultan of Johor, Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar, RM2 million to purchase a 'Tan Sri' title from the Johor palace. 

In a statement at noon, the MACC confirmed that its chief commissioner Dzulkifli Ahmad and several senior officials, has had an audience with the sultan pertaining to the matter.

"During the meeting, MACC had recorded details from the sultan and identified the individual involved.

"MACC has assured the sultan that investigations will be performed and the appropriate legal action be taken," said the MACC.

The MACC also praised the sultan for his commitment towards combating graft and abuse of power.

Sultan Ibrahim had recently revealed that an individual offered him RM2 million to propose to the chief secretary to the government names of candidates for 'Tan Sri' titles, which would be bestowed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

However, the sultan refused to reveal the person's identity, apart from stating that he was from Kuala Lumpur.

Earlier this morning, Dzulkifli had an audience with the Ruler at a luxury condominium in Kuala Lumpur, but both parties refused to divulge what the meeting was about, when met by reporters afterwards.
