KUANTAN, July 31 (Bernama) — The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) of Pahang has remanded six policemen for seven days for allegedly soliciting and receiving bribes worth about RM12,000 to not take action over a ketum juice possession case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The remand order, until Aug 6, was issued by Magistrate Khamisah Ismail after allowing the application by the MACC at the Temerloh Magistrate\u2019s Court today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to sources, all six suspects, aged between 30 and in their 50s, were detained at about 9 pm yesterday after turning up at the MACC’s Temerloh branch office to give their statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe incident began when the suspects arrested five individuals in an operation in the Temerloh district in May for suspected possession of ketum juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOne of the suspects is believed to have received the bribe in cash from an individual acting as the middleman,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, Pahang MACC director Mohd Shukor Mahmud, when contacted, confirmed the arrest, saying the case is being investigated under Section 17(a) of the MACC Act 2009.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
