An assistant enforcement officer from the Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) has been remanded for seven days to facilitate investigations for allegedly accepting bribes to protect illegal business premises in Sungai Buloh, Selangor.
The remand order from today until Aug 19 was issued by Magistrate Shah Wira Abdul Halim at the Putrajaya Magistrate’s Court.
According to a source from the MACC, the 38-year-old man was arrested at the anti-graft body's headquarters at about 9.30pm last night, after giving his statement.
Yesterday, five individuals including four MBSA enforcement officers were remanded for seven days to facilitate investigations into the same case.
The issue heated up after Facebook live videos claiming authorities inaction on gambling dens in Bandar Baru Sungai Buloh went viral.
The videos by burger chain founder Mohd Asri Hamid, also known as Asri Janggut, showed him pointing out the location of premises allegedly engaged in vice activities in the area as well as purported illegal businesses.
Following the disclosure, MACC obtained the cooperation of Bukit Aman’s Integrity and Standards Compliance Department to investigate the allegations.
