MACC arrests two policemen over RM14,000 traffic offence bribes on East Coast Expressway

On August 16, two Malaysian policemen were detained by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) on suspicion of accepting bribes totaling approximately RM14,000. One of the constables and a patrol officer were arrested on the East Coast Expressway (LPT 2) for allegedly soliciting and accepting bribes to avoid taking action against motorists who committed traffic offences.

According to a source, the male officer in his 30s was apprehended on August 15, while the other suspect was arrested on August 11. The initial arrest order for the patrol officer was extended by four days to August 19. The detainees were remanded for five days until August 20, with the case being investigated under Section 17(a) of the MACC Act 2009.
