Majistret Uthman Abd Ghani issued a warrant to detain a 20-something male prisoner for six days to help investigate a case involving a request and receipt of approximately RM3,000 in bribes to bring prohibited items into a prison in Melaka. The order was issued by Majistret Uthman Abd Ghani after a request was made to the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Agency (SPRM) in the Ayer Keroh Magistrate Court, reported Bernama.

According to sources, the suspect was arrested around 11:50 am yesterday at his residence in Sungai Petani, and initial investigation found him suspected of committing the act in March while serving at a prison in Melaka. "The suspect is accused of receiving a bribe amounting to approximately RM3,000 through a transfer of funds to his e-wallet as a reward for bringing prohibited items into the prison," he said.

Adi Supian Shafie, the head of SPRM Melaka, confirmed the detention and the investigation under Section 17(a) of the SPRM Act 2009.
