MBSA officers remanded for allegedly protecting illegal businesses in Sg Buloh

Four enforcement personnel of the Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) are in remand for seven days from today for alleged corruption to protect business premises operating illegally in Sungai Buloh.

Also in remand is an Acehnese trader for allegedly paying RM300 a month to enforcement personnel to protect his business.

The remand order against the five suspects, which expires on Tuesday (Aug 18), was issued by magistrate Shah Wira Abdul Halim here.

The four MBSA enforcement personnel - three from the Sungai Buloh branch and the other from Shah Alam - were arrested at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters here after giving their statements.

Their arrest followed two video clips posted on the Hot Burger Malaysia Facebook page and shared by Mohd Asri Hamid, 42, also known as Asri Janggut.

Asri had claimed that no action was taken by the authorities against gambling activities in Bandar Baru Sungai Buloh and had exposed the locations where the alleged gambling activities took place.
