KUALA LUMPUR: A nephew of Sungai Buloh MP R. Sivarasa and his former worker were charged in the Sessions Court here with three counts of corruption each in relation to the recruitment of foreign workers about five years ago.

R. Naveen Kularasa, 50, who is also Sivarasa's personal assistant, and his former worker Nico Kam Joo Hoe, 24, both pleaded not guilty to the charges which were read out before Judge Azura Alwi on Monday .

For the second and third charges, the two are alleged to have agreed to corruptly receive for themselves cash of RM45,000 and RM20,000 from Mono Miah through Kam in relation to the same matter. The charges were framed under Section 16 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009, read together with Section 34 of the same Act, which provides for a maximum jail term of 20 years and fine of not less than five times the amount of bribe or RM10,000 fine or whichever is higher, upon conviction.
