Ex-native affairs officer among 4 held over RM900,000 bribe in Sabah land sale
Investigations found that the land involved in the transaction belonged to another person and had never been offered for sale.
Four individuals, including a former native affairs officer and a civil servant, were arrested and remanded for seven days in connection with a land sale bribe investigation in Sabah. The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) issued the remand order, which is valid until August 27. The suspects are alleged to have accepted bribes from two land brokers to facilitate the sale of a property last year.
However, preliminary investigations revealed that the land in question was not owned by the parties involved and had never been put up for sale. The four suspects, aged between 30 and 60, were arrested at the Keningau MACC office between 4 pm and 8 pm yesterday as they provided statements. The investigation is being conducted under Sections 17 and 18 of the MACC Act 2009.
