A male suspect in his early 40s was arrested late Friday evening at a Johor housing committee office, suspected of involvement in theft of RM1.6 million and abuse of authority, according to sources. The arrest took place around 7.30 pm at the Johor SPRM office, where the suspect appeared to provide a statement. Initial investigations revealed that the suspect allegedly engaged in these activities between 2016 and 2025.
It is believed that the suspect abused authority by demanding money, approximately RM4,000 each, from 400 applicants for housing plot permits, totaling around RM1.6 million. The suspect allegedly then laundered the money through false bank withdrawals using the housing committee's account, it was reported. Meanwhile, the SPRM Johor Chairman, Hairuzam Mohmad Amin@Hamim, stated that the case is being investigated under Section 16(a), Section 18 and Section 23 of the SPRM Act 2009. He said the suspect was released on SPRM bail after his statement was recorded.
