A businessman, Albert Tei, known for his real name Tei Jiann Cheing, failed in his attempt to have five corruption charges moved to the High Court.

The charges, framed under Section 17(b) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009, include allegations of giving bribes to the former senior political secretary of the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin.
If convicted, Tei faces a maximum 20-year prison term and a hefty fine. The bribes, totaling RM140,000, were allegedly given for assistance in securing mineral exploration licences in Sabah.
