The High Court has rejected businessman Albert Tei's attempt to move five corruption charges against former senior political secretary Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin from the Sessions Court. Judge Noor Ruwena Md Nurdin dismissed the application after hearing arguments from both sides, stating that she does not agree with the applicant and that the issue is not complex.
Tei, 37, faces four charges of allegedly giving Iskandar RM140,000 in cash, furniture, and electrical goods worth RM14,580.03 and RM22,249 as an inducement for assistance in obtaining mineral exploration licenses for his companies in Sabah. The charges, under Section 17(b) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act 2009, carry a maximum 20-year prison sentence and a fine of at least five times the bribe amount or RM10,000.
Tei also faces a fifth charge of giving RM64,924 to Iskandar at a bank in Kajang between November 28, 2023, and September 23, 2024.
