Tei pleaded not guilty in June last year to bribing former Sindumin assemblyman Dr Yusof Yacob (RM200,000) and former Tanjung Batu assemblyman Andi Muhammad Suryady Bandy (RM150,000) in 2023. The licences were for companies linked to Tei’s business partners.

The case is prosecuted by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
