The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has arrested 3 civil servants and a former civil servant as they are believed to receive monthly bribes from illegal businesses around Kuala Lumpur.

The Deputy Director of the Kuala Lumpur City Council (DBKL) is apparently the main suspect and has allegedly been receiving bribes of RM100,000 to RM500,000 a month from a syndicate of illegal massage parlours, entertainment centers and other unlicensed premises.

According to a report by Berita Harian, a source shared that, besides the Deputy Director, the other civil servants who were arrested are also members of the local council and their enforcement team.

“The 3 who were arrested yesterday, are remanded for 7 days until June 14, while a suspect who is also a former member of the law enforcement agency was remanded for 5 days, until June 12, 2024,”

“The remand order against the all-male suspects, aged between 30 and 40, was issued by Magistrate Shairil Farhana Ruslan after receiving an application made by the MACC at the Dang Wangi District Headquarters (IPD). The bribe money is to enable the illegal business premises to operate without being subject to enforcement action,” the source explained.

The 3 individuals who were arrested along with the Deputy Director is said to have also acted as middlemen to distribute bribe money to several local authority enforcement officers.

 

Through these arrests, MACC also seized more than RM200,000 in cash, jewellery and 28 pieces of gold wafers.

This case is being investigated under Section 17(a) and Section 16(a)(A) of the MACC Act 2009.
