Pengerusi agensi kerajaan bergelar Datuk ditahan di P Pinang
Empat lagi suspek terdiri daripada dua pengarah syarikat, seorang pengurus teknikal dan seorang kerani wanita berusia 40 hingga 50-an.
Pulau Pinang - A Datuk government agency chairman among five suspects has been arrested by Malaysia's Anti-Corruption Agency (SPRM) on charges of misusing authority in the sale of eight parcels of land owned by a government agency in Pinang. Four additional suspects comprise a corporate director, a technical manager, and a woman aged between 40 and 50.
According to TV3 News, the chairman is believed to have abused his position as deputy chairman and board member in 2015 to approve the sale of the eight parcels of land to a company with alleged connections to his friend. The land was allegedly sold for less than the market value, resulting in an estimated loss of RM1.96 million.
All suspects were arrested between 11am and 12pm yesterday at the SPRM office in Pinang and are expected to be brought to George Town Magistrate's Court for bail applications today. SPRM Chief Advisor, Abd Halim Aman, confirmed the arrests and the case will be heard under Section 23 of the SPRM Act 2009.
