Former GLC Employee Suspected of Receiving RM3 Million in Bribes

KUALA LUMPUR: A former employee of a federal government-linked company (GLC) has been remanded for five days by the Selangor Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) on suspicion of soliciting and receiving approximately RM3 million in bribes from a contractor company’s director.

The bribes were allegedly given in exchange for helping the company secure road maintenance projects at electrical substations worth approximately RM95 million across Peninsular Malaysia.

Selangor MACC Director Mohd Azwan Ramli said the remand order against the suspect, effective until November 16, 2026, was issued by Magistrate Wan Noora Nisa Ngadirin following an application by the MACC at the Shah Alam Magistrates’ Court this morning.

Azwan said the male suspect, aged in his 40s, was arrested at approximately noon yesterday when he appeared to give a statement at the Selangor MACC office.

The case is being investigated under Section 16(a)(B) of the MACC Act 2009.

Meanwhile, preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect allegedly committed the offences between 2023 and 2025 by using documents related to procurement and contractor appointments to convince the company’s director.

According to Azwan, the suspect is also believed to have received the bribe money through several cheques channelled by companies acting as intermediaries.
