  "account": "A 60-year-old man was arrested for five days to assist with the investigation into a false accusation of a RM100,000 coffee table payment claim linked to a former top leader of Melaka. The printing company director was questioned by Majistret Sharda Shienha Mohd Suleiman after the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (SPRM) permitted his petition in Ayer Keroh Magistrate Court. Sources indicate the suspect was detained for about eight nights during questioning at the SPRM Melaka office. Initial investigations found the suspect allegedly committing the act in connection with a former top leader of the state in 2021. The suspect is believed not only to have submitted a false coffee table payment claim document containing false details about their services and printing the coffee table books, but also to have performed a poor qualification process. The SPRM Melaka director, Adi Supian Shafie, when contacted, confirmed the arrest and that the case is being investigated under Section 18 of the SPRM Act 2009.",
