2 more remanded over Perak vehicle transfer syndicate
They are suspected of bribing enforcement officers to facilitate vehicle ownership transfers.
Perak authorities have remanded two additional individuals linked to a syndicate involved in falsifying documents for vehicle ownership transfers, this time in Ipoh. According to a Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) source, the suspects – a company owner and a car broker in their 30s and 40s – were suspected of bribing state enforcement agency officers to facilitate the transfers of 16 classic number plates.
Magistrate SS Evangelin issued a seven-day remand order for both, pending a MACC application until September 21.
The suspects were arrested yesterday at around 4pm and 9pm while providing statements at the Perak MACC office, as confirmed by MACC director Azizul Ahmad Sarkawi. This follows the arrest of 11 individuals last week, including six civil servants implicated in the alleged offenses. The civil servants are suspected of conspiring with five private individuals, who served as middlemen, in the scheme. The MACC's overall operation dismantled the syndicate in 2025.
