KOTA KINABALU, June 29 — Two state assemblymen and a businessman arrested by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) under Ops Adun, are reportedly scheduled to be charged tomorrow. New Straits Times wrote that the Sabah MACC said the trio are expected to be charged at the Special Corruption Court here at about 9am. They will face a total of four charges under the MACC Act 2009. Two of the charges will be brought under Section 16(b)(A) of the Act for offering bribes, while the other two will be under Section 16(a)(A) for accepting bribes. So far, 15 politicians have been implicated in corrupt activities between 2023 and 2024, in exchange for assistance in processing mineral exploration licence applications. Earlier this month, MACC said it would charge two Sabah assemblymen and a civilian in court this month over a corruption scandal involving the mining licences. MACC chief Tan Sri Azam Baki told reporters that the individuals were in the process of being arrested and notified about their court dates.

Phuket monk guns down fellow cleric in temple bathroom over loud phone, alleged bullying
PHUKET, June 29 — A Buddhist monk in Phuket has been arrested after fatally shooting a fellow monk at a temple this morning, allegedly following months of bullying. Bangkok Post reported that the shooting occurred at around 6am at Wat Khao Rung in Talad Yai, Muang district. Police said the victim, 36-year-old Phra Niwat, was found dead in a temple bathroom with gunshot wounds to his neck, arm and chest. Four spent .38 calibre cartridges and a bullet casing were recovered at the scene, according to Pol Lt Jaruwit Juabkwarmsuk of Muang Phuket police station. The suspected gunman, 47-year-old Phra Jaruek, initially barricaded himself in his room after the shooting but later surrendered. Officers found a loaded .38 revolver and 14 rounds of ammunition in his possession. In his statement to police, Phra Jaruek claimed that he had endured prolonged bullying by the victim and was provoked again on the morning of the incident. 'He went into the bathroom without locking the door and played something loudly on his phone. It irritated me,' he said. 'So I took the gun from my room, shot him, and reloaded another six rounds.' Following his arrest, Phra Jaruek was taken before the ecclesiastical district governor and formally defrocked. He is now in custody and faces criminal prosecution. The temple has yet to comment publicly on the incident.
