SHAH ALAM, Nov 12 — A former employee of a federal government—linked company (GLC) has been remanded for five days to assist in investigations over the alleged solicitation and acceptance of bribes amounting to about RM3 million.
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) of Selangor said the man was suspected to have received the money from a director of a construction company in exchange for helping to secure road maintenance projects at electrical substations worth about RM95 million across Peninsular Malaysia
“Magistrate Wan Noora Nisa Ngadirin issued the five-day remand order until November 16 following an application by MACC at the Shah Alam Magistrate’s Court this morning.
“The suspect, in his 40s, was arrested at about noon yesterday when he turned up to give his statement at the Selangor MACC office,” it said in a statement today.
Preliminary investigations found that the suspect allegedly committed the offences between 2023 and 2025 by using documents related to procurement and contractor appointments to convince the company director.
The suspect is also believed to have received the bribes through several cheques channelled via companies acting as intermediaries.
Selangor MACC director Mohd Azwan Ramli said the case is being investigated under Section 16(a)(B) of the MACC Act 2009. — Bernama
