MACC identifies 2 more firms offering bribes in data centre project probe
An MACC source said the prime suspect is believed to have leaked tender prices and ensured companies that paid him bribes were awarded the contracts. PETALING JAYA : The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has identified two more firms that allegedly secured contracts linked to the construction of a data centre in Johor by bribing a project manager of a leading construction company. A source from the MACC said several company directors from the two firms would be called in to assist in investigations. 'The key suspect – the project manager – admitted to demanding 3% of each project's value from companies seeking contracts with the construction firm,' Utusan Malaysia reported the source as saying. The suspect is believed to have leaked tender prices and ensured companies that paid him bribes were awarded the contracts. 'The bribes were paid in stages, based on the progress of the project payments. 'It is understood that several million ringgit has yet to be paid to the suspect, as part of the agreement between him and the companies,' the source added. Yesterday, it was reported that the suspect, who was arrested by the MACC over alleged corruption involving tenders for a RM180 million data centre project, had purportedly tried to burn nearly RM1 million in cash to destroy evidence. Sources said the suspect had attempted to destroy the cash out of panic following the raid carried out by MACC at his house on Thursday. A team of MACC officers discovered bundles of RM100 banknotes, amounting to nearly RM1 million, in the process of being burned in a bathroom. It was reported on Friday that MACC arrested the suspect, along with his wife and two company directors, over suspected corruption involving procurement tenders for the construction of the data centre in Johor. About RM7.5 million in cash, stored in pillow cases, three luxury watches – a Rolex, an Omega, and a Cartier – as well as various pieces of jewellery, including rings and gold coins, were seized during the raid. The money is believed to be from bribes paid to the manager in exchange for securing six project tenders. The project manager is on remand until July 24, his wife until July 21 and the two company directors until July 22.

‘Justice must prevail': Kelantan urges probe to ensure nobody unfairly victimised, after cops slammed for raiding HIV outreach
KOTA BHARU, July 20 — The Kelantan government has today called for a thorough investigation, after the police was criticised for raiding an HIV outreach programme which it had alleged as a 'gay sex party'. Deputy Menteri Besar Datuk Mohamed Fadzli Hassan said in a statement that all parties must remain open-minded, and everyone must be afforded the right to justice with wisdom and fairness. 'To resolve this matter, the Kelantan state government calls for a thorough and comprehensive investigation to ensure that no party becomes a victim of misunderstanding, slander, or public judgement before the truth is fully established. 'If investigations confirm that the police's actions were justified and based on facts, stern measures should be taken against those involved,' he said in a statement here. 'Conversely, if the NGOs' and individuals' claims are proven true, corrective steps must be taken. The principle of justice must prevail,' he added. However, he insisted that anyone planning potentially controversial events to seek proper approval from authorities. He added that if participants were from outside Kelantan, this should be clarified to protect locals from undue blame. 'Transparency is essential to prevent baseless assumptions and unwarranted judgement within society,' he said. Fadzli's remark came as some locals blamed the media and the police for casting Kelantan in a bad light by falsely claiming that a 'gay sex party' had taken place in the state. On Friday, the MAC confirmed that it conducted a night outreach session here on June 17 under the Differentiated HIV Services for Key Populations model. MAC said the session was in collaboration with Kota Jembal Health Clinic and part of a strategic approach introduced by the Health Ministry. It said the session was held from 8pm to 2am and had reached over 70 high-risk individuals, with services scheduled outside office hours to improve accessibility. This comes as a coalition of civil society groups had also urged Kelantan police to revise their statement on a June 2025 raid of an alleged 'gay sex party' here, which they clarified was in fact a health outreach event. The groups, led by transgender rights advocacy group Justice for Sisters, said media reports following the raid resulted in harmful and stigmatising remarks that have intensified fear among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) individuals seeking health services.
