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 government agency chairperson of Datuk title, among five suspects, was arrested by the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Agency (SPRM) for allegedly misusing authority in the sale of eight parcels of land owned by a government agency in Penang Island. The remaining four suspects consist of two corporate directors, a technical manager, and a woman aged between 40 and 50.
According to TV3 news, the chairperson is believed to have misused his position as deputy chairperson and board member in 2015 to approve the sale of the eight land lots to a company believed to have links with his associates. The land was allegedly sold at a price lower than the market value, resulting in a loss of approximately RM1.96 million.
All suspects were detained between 11 a.m. and 12 p.m. yesterday at the SPRM office in Penang Island and are expected to be brought to the George Town Magistrate's Court today for a bail application. SPRM Chief Advisor, Abd Halim Aman, confirmed the arrests, and the case is being investigated under Section 23 of the SPRM Act 2009.
