Lodge report against MACC officer who threatened you, Kula tells businessman
Deputy law and institutional reform minister M Kulasegaran speaking in Parliament during the winding-up of the Whistleblower Protection (Amendment) Bill 2025. (Bernama pic) KUALA LUMPUR : Deputy law and institutional reform minister M Kulasegaran has urged businessman Albert Tei to lodge a police report and name the anti-graft agency officer who allegedly threatened him not to go public with information about the Sabah mining scandal. 'This issue has also been raised by several MPs. It is a very serious allegation and one that cannot be accepted under any circumstances,' he said during his winding-up speech for the Whistleblower Protection (Amendment) Bill 2025 in the Dewan Rakyat today. 'I would like to advise the individual named Albert Tei to immediately file a report regarding this issue with the police and the MACC complaints committee under Section 15 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 (Act 694), by naming the MACC officer involved in the allegation.' Kulasegaran said that the government will not compromise on issues involving threats or intimidation, and stern action will be taken if the allegations are found to be true. 'Any individual who comes forward with information about misconduct must not be blocked or threatened by any party, especially by authorities who are supposed to protect whistleblowers under Act 711,' he said. Tei is currently standing trial on two charges of giving a total of RM350,000 in bribes related to mineral prospecting licence applications in Sabah to two assemblymen. Earlier today, lawyer Mahajoth Singh was reported as saying that Tei had approached MACC but was warned against coming forward before he exposed the Sabah mining scandal to Malaysiakini. Malaysiakini reported Mahajoth as saying that his client had first approached MACC at the end of October 2024, but was told by the anti-graft agency that he 'would be in trouble' if he came forward. Tei was also not offered any protection, the lawyer claimed. Mahajoth said this in response to law and institutional reform minister Azalina Othman Said, who said whistleblowers who approached the media before enforcement agencies were not entitled to protection under the Whistleblower Protection Act 2010. He said Tei decided to go public after being dismissed by the MACC and receiving death threats. The Sabah mining scandal surfaced last year following the leak of several videos purportedly showing discussions involving bribery and misconduct related to mineral exploration projects in the state. Tei and two other Sabah assemblymen have since claimed trial to charges of giving and receiving a total of RM350,000 in bribes related to mineral prospecting licence applications in the state.

Singapore's cybersecurity firm raises concerns over transparency in Marina Bay Sands Tower 4 tender
SINGAPORE-BASED Cybersec Technology Pte Ltd has today (July 22) issued an official statement expressing serious concerns over the lack of transparency and the release of misleading information during the tender process of Marina Bay Sands (MBS) Tower 4 project. Cybersec stated that during the entire tender preparation phase, the company continuously received information from Larry Chiu who is Marina Bay Sands' international marketing president and one Yang Lixin. Whether explicit or implied, these communications clearly suggested that Cybersec had been selected as the executing party for the project. 'Based on these communications, the company firmly believed that the project was essentially confirmed,' Cybersec revealed in a statement 'Acting in good faith, Cybersec invested heavily in manpower, resources, and time — including forming a dedicated team, drafting technical proposals and organising site inspections.' However, during the formal bidding process, Cybersec was excluded from the list of qualified bidders and has not received any official clarification or explanation to date. The company claimed that the unexpected turn of events has severely impacted its operations and reputation in addition to seriously undermined the fairness and transparency that should have been upheld in the tender process. 'We solemnly warn all companies and individuals to remain alert to behaviours that use informal channels to release misleading information and manipulate market expectations,' asserted Cybersec's representative Yang Songyu. 'We've every reason to believe that certain individuals have abused their influence in the tender process to create false expectations and damage fair competition.' As it is, Cybersec stressed that it holds a large volume of evidentiary materials – including e-mail correspondence, signed agreements, draft project documents and communication records – that sufficiently demonstrate the course of misleading behaviour and the resulting broken commitments. The company also formally declared that it will fully cooperate and make all relevant materials public should regulatory authorities initiate an investigation in order to safeguard its legal rights and the fairness of the tender process. 'Marina Bay Sands Tower 4 is a major project of international interest. Transparency, fairness, and integrity are core principles that must not be compromised in its tender process,' justified Cybersec. 'We urge the relevant Singaporean authorities to intervene immediately, investigate the information mechanisms and responsibilities of the involved parties and rectify improper conduct.' Added the company: 'Only through strict governance and regulatory mechanisms can investor confidence be protected and Singapore's status as one of the world's most reputable business and legal environments be maintained.' – July 22, 2025 Main image credit: Nothing
