  "account": "Bukit Aman's Deputy Commissioner M Kumar announced that his department will also file a request for a Special Investigation Order (OTI) to conduct further investigations into allegations that a senior Malaysian Anti-Corruption Agency (SPRM) official received RM350,000 in bribes from an individual in 2017. Kumar stated that two separate investigations have been opened based on police reports received, which have been widely reported on social media platforms. The first investigation was initiated under Section 165 of the Police Regulations, which deals with public servants accepting valuable items without reciprocation from those with official connections. Kumar explained that if proven guilty, the offender could face imprisonment for up to two years or a fine, or both. The second investigation is being conducted under Section 500 of the Police Regulations, which addresses perjury, and could result in up to two years' imprisonment, a fine, or both. Additionally, Kumar mentioned that the police will also file a request for a Special Investigation Order (OTI) under Section 108(2) of the Criminal Procedure Code to allow for further investigation, which will include recording statements from witnesses and confirming the status of previous SPRM investigations. He urged the public not to speculate about the case and advised responsible use of social media to ensure national safety and security. The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Watch (MCW) had urged SPRM and the Prevention and Anti-Corruption Advisory Council (LPPR) to conduct an immediate investigation into the allegations to maintain the integrity of the relevant agencies. This case had previously been investigated by SPRM in 2018, but the investigation was closed as no evidence of wrongdoing was found at that time.",
