Former Federal GLC Staff Remanded Five Days Over Alleged RM3 Million Bribes

SHAH ALAM, Nov 12 – A former employee of a federal government-linked company (GLC) has been remanded for five days to assist in a Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) investigation into the alleged solicitation and acceptance of approximately RM3 million in bribes.

Magistrate Wan Noora Nisa Ngadirin granted the five-day remand order running until Monday, November 16, 2026, following an application by Selangor MACC at the Shah Alam Magistrate’s Court on Thursday morning, November 12.

The suspect, a man in his 40s, was initially arrested at around noon on Wednesday, November 11, after appearing at the Selangor MACC office to have his statement recorded.

According to Selangor MACC, the suspect is believed to have solicited and accepted the RM3 million payout from a construction company director in return for helping the firm secure road maintenance contracts at electrical substations valued at roughly RM95 million across Peninsular Malaysia.

Preliminary investigations indicate the alleged offences took place between 2023 and 2025, during which the suspect reportedly utilized procurement documents and contractor appointment records to convince the contracting company’s director. Authorities also believe the bribe funds were disbursed via multiple cheques channelled through several intermediary companies.

Selangor MACC Director Mohd Azwan Ramli confirmed the arrest and stated that the investigation is being conducted under Section 16(a)(B) of the MACC Act 2009.
