KUALA LUMPUR: Hours after appearing in court to face three corruption charges, former Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri M. Saravanan said he had nothing to be ashamed of.
Former Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri M. Saravanan appeared in court to face three corruption charges, stating he had no shame over the allegations against him. The MIC deputy president dismissed the claims as baseless and politically motivated, vowing to defend himself in court. During his appearance, over 200 supporters lined the courtroom corridor, chanting "Hidup Datuk Seri" as they escorted him out of the courthouse.
Saravanan pleaded not guilty to three charges of accepting RM1.097 million in bribes to approve foreign worker quotas four years ago. The charges, under Section 16(a)(B) of the MACC Act 2009, carry a potential 20-year prison sentence and a fine of at least RM50,000 if convicted.
