MACC nabs 3 more MBSA enforcement officers over gambling dens

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission has arrested three more Shah Alam City Council enforcement officers suspected of accepting bribes to protect unlicensed businesses including gambling dens in Sungai Buloh.

According to sources, the three officers attached to MBSA’s Sungai Buloh office were part of a protection racket run by enforcement officers who would collect monthly payments from illegal businesses. This is the latest in a string of arrests of MBSA officers after a social media user exposed gambling dens in Bandar Baru, Sungai Buloh.

So far, five officers have been arrested. The most recent arrests, involving officers aged 40 to 43, brings the total number of MBSA officers arrested to eight. “They were arrested at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya. It is as if accepting protection money is a ‘culture’ among the enforcement officers that the illegal businesses were unafraid of action by the authorities,” a source said.When contacted, MACC deputy chief commissioner Ahmad Khusairi Yahaya confirmed the arrests but declined to comment further.
