One Singaporean linked to convicted match-fixer Wilson Raj Perumal and three other Malaysians were arrested by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) on Tuesday night.

The arrests are believed to be in connection with the Malaysian Super League (MSL) match between the LionsXII and Sarawak, which was played on the same night at the Jalan Besar Stadium.

One of the Malaysians arrested is understood to be a match official, although it is not known if he was involved in Tuesday's match in any way.

The New Paper understands that Tuesday night's arrests took place at a hotel.
