  "account": "Johor's executive, Jafni Shukor, has denied that his office or staff had any involvement in allegations of corruption related to requests for lots in house-building projects. He emphasized that his team is committed to ensuring the Johor state's Home Ownership Scheme (RMMJ) agenda is executed systematically, clearly, and with integrity.\n\nAccording to Jafni, the state government is dedicated to achieving the target of 30,000 affordable housing units before the end of the year, with over 21,000 units already completed and handed over. The initiative, he said, is part of the state government's commitment to ensuring that the Johor people's agenda for housing ownership continues to be executed systematically, clearly, and with integrity.\n\nEarlier, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (SPRM) reported the suspension of a Johor non-profit housing body executive member for allegedly requesting and receiving bribes and misusing powers related to house-building project application lots. The individual, in his early 40s, was accused of committing these acts between 2016 and 2025, misusing funds amounting to approximately RM4,000 from each of 400 applicants, totaling around RM1.6 million.\n\nThe funds were allegedly misappropriated for personal use through the use of false bank transfers from the executive committee's account. The SPRM clarified that the individual arrested was not an exco, employee, or office of Johor state government. In response, the SPRM urged all parties not to speculate or spread inaccurate information, particularly by linking any individual or Johor state government official to the case.",
