NGO lodges police report against Albert Tei for defaming Hajiji
G57 chairman Zulkarnain Mahdar wants MCMC to probe the matter.
The NGO Sabah has filed a police report against businessman Albert Tei for allegedly engaging in defamation and character assassination against Chief Minister Hajiji Noor, in connection with a state corruption scandal. G57 Chairman Zulkarnain Mahdar announced the filing of the report, citing a social media post by Tei accusing Hajiji of orchestrating a scandal involving the state's mining projects. Mahdar emphasized the need for the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission to investigate the matter.
The scandal surfaced in 2024 following the dissemination of several videos claiming to show corrupt discussions related to the mining exploration project in Sabah. Tei, along with former Sabah MCA member Andi Suryady Bandy and Dr Yusof Yacob, is accused of receiving and paying RM350,000 in bribes connected to a permit application for mineral exploration in the state. The defendants maintain their innocence.
