Businessperson Albert Tei, who exposed the Sabah mining scandal, today released to the media two images purportedly showing “armed” MACC officers at his residence during his arrest last November.
The images, which are identical, showed what looked like two individuals in tactical gear and balaclavas standing on a staircase, with one of them appearing to be holding something in his hands.
It is unclear what was the object being held, but the individual's stance and posture resemble the position of someone is holding and pointing a firearm.
One of the images comes with captions that described it as “Rumah Albert Tei” at 10am on Nov 28, 2025, and three labels saying "two MACC members", "dog", and "MACC pointing gun".
Malaysiakini has reached out to MACC for comments.
Tei believes the images reaffirm his claim that balaclava-clad MACC officers pointed pistols at him, his wife, mother-in-law, and the family’s domestic helper during his arrest on Nov 28.
He said the images clearly resemble the layout of his semi-detached house in Puchong.
According to Tei, the images were sent to him on March 9 via WhatsApp by an unidentified person using a Cambodian-registered mobile phone number.
"I asked several times who the sender was, how he obtained the two images, and whether he was an MACC officer, but I received no reply.
"I recognise and confirm that the location shown in the images is the side yard of my house, and the dog is my German Shepherd," he added.
Yesterday, the businessperson told Malaysiakini that he has lodged a police report about the images, and said he suspects the pictures were captured from a video recording.
Tei believes the recording could have come from the body cameras worn by members of the raiding team.
He also reiterated his demand for MACC to reveal all video recordings from the body cameras of the MACC officers who raided his house.
Following his arrest, Tei had claimed that balaclava-clad MACC officers pointed pistols at him, his wife, mother-in-law, and the family’s domestic helper. His wife later lodged a police report over the incident.
MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki later denied that a firearm was pointed at Tei’s head during his arrest, and the commission lodged a police report against the "slander".
Police have since opened an investigation, but Selangor police chief Shazeli Kahar told the press in December that they have yet to find any evidence that MACC had pointed a gun at Tei and his wife. - Mkini
