MACC investigates Singaporean tycoon in Sabah corruption scandal
The probe comes after a viral social media article highlighted claims of bribery involving local politicians and businessmen.
MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki confirmed the investigation, stating that witnesses will soon be called to provide statements.
'We are looking into the matter seriously, and necessary actions will be taken based on the findings,' he said.
A source within MACC revealed that the tycoon is suspected of funding bribes connected to Datuk Albert Tei and several UMNO leaders in Sabah.
This development follows recent court charges against two Sabah state assemblymen and a businessman for corruption related to mining approvals.
The accused were charged under Section 16(b)(A) of the MACC Act 2009 for offering bribes and Section 16(a)(A) for receiving bribes.
The case has drawn significant public attention, raising concerns over corruption in natural resource management.

Fighting graft in public service, one cash reward at a time
KOTA KINABALU: Civil servants in Sabah who blow the whistle on corruption and help bring offenders to justice can walk away with cash rewards matching the bribe amount reported. Sabah Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) director Datuk Karunanithy Y. Subbiah said the initiative aligns with state policy since 2011 to boost integrity and courage within the public service. 'If a civil servant reports a corruption case, whether a bribe was offered or received, and it leads to prosecution, the case will be reviewed by a state committee to determine the reward amount,' he said after attending an integrity seminar for public sector personnel yesterday. 'The reward is usually on a ringgit-for-ringgit basis. For example, if a civil servant is offered RM10,000 and reports it, then the same amount would be recommended as the reward.' He added that this committee is chaired by him, alongside representatives from the National Audit Department and the Sabah Civil Service Department. For small bribe offers as low as RM100, the minimum reward considered is RM500, he said. Beyond cash, whistleblowers also receive an official certificate of appreciation as a token of recognition for upholding integrity in the public sector. However, Karunanithy stressed that the scheme only applies to civil servants who are offered bribes and formally report them to the MACC, not those acting as public whistleblowers. In 2023 alone, RM54,850 in rewards was disbursed to civil servants in Sabah. Out of that, RM52,850 went to police personnel and RM2,000 to immigration personnel, said Karunanithy.

Tei's lawyer lambasted for questioning Chief Minister's report
Published on: Friday, July 04, 2025 Published on: Fri, Jul 04, 2025 By: Iskandar Dzulkifli Text Size: Mazlan (left) said Tei's (right) action in holding a press conference immediately after being charged in court and implicating the Chief Minister and enforcement agencies such as the MACC and the Attorney General's Chambers reeked of political intent. Kota Kinabalu: Mazlan Joehari Manan, Special Officer to the Chief Minister, lambasted the lawyer representing businessman Albert Tei for questioning the action of Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor to lodge a police report against him (Albert) for possible criminal libel that involves jail sentence rather than merely sue for damages. Mazlan, who is also Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (Gagasan Rakyat) Lumadan Division chief, said the lawyer's remarks that it is a calculated attempt to mislead the public and distort the true intent behind the legal action taken against his client were provocative, irresponsible and arrogant. Advertisement He said the lawyer was trying to create the perception that Hajiji was using political power to intimidate opponents, when lodging a report is in line with legal principles that allow any individual to take action when defamed. 'This is not about personal vengeance or political rivalry. This is about defending the truth and the dignity of the Chief Minister's office. 'When someone makes defamatory public remarks, it is only right that legal action be taken,' Mazlan said in a statement on Thursday. Albert's counsel Mahajoth Singh said that Hajiji should have filed a civil suit against Tei instead of lodging a police report. Mazlan stressed that calling a police report an abuse of public resources was a shallow and dismissive view of the nation's justice institutions. 'If such remarks go unchallenged, it could foster an unhealthy culture where individuals facing prosecution hide behind freedom of speech rhetoric to avoid legal accountability.' Mazlan said Tei's action in holding a press conference immediately after being charged in court and implicating the Chief Minister and enforcement agencies such as the MACC and the Attorney General's Chambers reeked of political intent. 'He appears to want to drag everyone through the mud just because he was charged. That's not the behaviour of someone seeking the truth, but someone trying to protect himself through public perception,' he said. 'If the client is innocent, prove it in court. Don't muddy the legal process with politically charged statements,' Mazlan said. He cautioned people not to fall into the trap of perception politics but continue placing trust in the legal institutions to carry out their duties independently and fairly. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
