  "account": "The Integrity Commissioner of Malaysia (INTEGRITY COMMISSIONER) has confirmed two separate investigations opened against a senior officer of the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission (SPRM) for allegedly receiving RM350,000 in bribes in 2017 from an individual. M Kumar, the Director of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) at Bukit Aman, stated that the investigations were conducted following a police report and further propagated on various social media platforms. The first investigation was initiated under Section 165 Penal Code, which pertains to public servants receiving valuable items without receiving anything in return from the person with the official connection. Kumar explained that if proven guilty, the offender could face imprisonment for up to two years or a fine, or both. The second investigation was carried out under Section 500 Penal Code related to the offense of false testimony, which carries a maximum of two years imprisonment, a fine, or both. This investigation also includes the provisions of Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 for the offense of unlawfully using communication or network facilities, which could result in a fine not exceeding RM500,000 or imprisonment for up to two years, or both. Kumar mentioned that the police will also file a Request for Investigation (OTI) under Section 108(2) of the Criminal Procedure Code to allow for further investigation. This step will include recording statements from witnesses related to the case and obtaining confirmation on the previous investigation status from SPRM. He urged the public not to speculate about the matter and advised using social media responsibly to ensure national security and safety remain intact. MCW had previously urged SPRM and the Anti-Corruption Advisory Council (LPPR) to conduct an immediate investigation into the allegations against the senior officer to preserve the integrity of the agencies involved. This case had been previously investigated by SPRM in 2018, but the investigation was closed due to the lack of evidence for any wrongdoing at that time.",
