Former human resources minister Datuk Seri M. Saravanan appeared in court on August 28, 2022, to claim trial on three corruption charges involving RM1.097 million in bribes allegedly received through Tan Teck Lim. The charges, which accuse Saravanan of accepting RM150,000, RM350,000, and RM597,000 from Tan, stem from the approval of 1,000 foreign-worker quotas for TYKB Engineering Sdn Bhd.
The alleged bribes were given to Tan through Syed Amirul Syed Ahmad on June 16, July 7, and July 7, 2022, respectively. Saravanan pleaded not guilty, arguing that he was cooperative and an MP who regularly attended Parliament. The court set bail at RM450,000, requiring Saravanan to report to the MACC office every three months and refrain from contacting witnesses.
