  "account": "Malaysian Anti-Corruption Agency (SPRM) has detained two individuals, a government official and a company director, who allegedly received and sought a bribe totaling around RM15,000. The bribery was allegedly in exchange for work clearance at the government agency. The two suspects, aged between 50 and 60, were held for about two days starting from yesterday morning after an SPRM complaint was lodged at Kuala Lumpur Magistrate Court. Initial investigation found both suspects allegedly engaged in the act between 2021 and 2023. The head of SPRM Kuala Lumpur, Mohammad Zakkuan Talib, confirmed the arrest and said the case is under investigation under Section 17(a) of the SPRM Act 2009.",
