Ex-GLC Employee Remanded Over Alleged RM3 Million Bribes

A former employee of a federal government-linked company (GLC) has been remanded for five days over alleged RM3 million bribes tied to road maintenance projects worth about RM95 million, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in Selangor said on Thursday (Nov 12), Bernama reported.

The man is suspected of receiving the money from a construction company director in return for helping to secure road maintenance projects at electrical substations across Peninsular Malaysia.

Ex-GLC Employee arrested at MACC office

In a statement, Selangor MACC said the suspect, in his 40s, was arrested at about noon on Wednesday (Nov 11) when he went to its office to give a statement.

Magistrate Wan Noora Nisa Ngadirin issued the remand order until Nov 16 at the Shah Alam Magistrate’s Court on Thursday morning, following an application by the commission.

Cheques routed through intermediary companies

Preliminary investigations found that the suspect allegedly committed the offences between 2023 and 2025, using documents related to procurement and contractor appointments to convince the company director.

He is also believed to have received the bribes through several cheques channelled via companies acting as intermediaries, according to MACC.

RM3 million bribes probed under MACC Act

Selangor MACC director Mohd Azwan Ramli said the case is being investigated under Section 16(a)(B) of the MACC Act 2009.

The Star, citing a source, reported that the suspect had previously worked at a federal GLC. The suspect’s identity and the name of the company have not been disclosed. He remains in remand while the commission continues its investigation.
