2 cops nabbed for allegedly taking bribes totalling RM14,000 from motorists
The police constable and patrol officer are suspected of soliciting and accepting bribes from motorists on the LPT2 highway.
Two police officers have been arrested for allegedly accepting bribes totalling RM14,000 from motorists, according to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) source. The incident allegedly took place between January and July 2026 on the East Coast Expressway (LPT) 2.
The constable, in his 30s, was arrested yesterday when he appeared at the Pahang MACC office to give his statement. The police officer, also in his 30s, was apprehended on August 11. Both suspects are believed to have conspired to commit the act of soliciting bribes.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the bribe money was received via fund transfer transactions into a third-party bank account controlled by the suspect. Magistrate Ellyna Othman granted the MACC's application for remand for the constable, allowing him to be held for five days until August 20. The police officer's remand has been extended by four days until August 19, following the first remand application's expiry.
