Sabah Mining Bribery Case Based on Evidence, NOT Videos

KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said prosecutions in the alleged Sabah mining licence scandal were carried out based on “sufficient facts” provided by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). He said MACC pursued only cases that could be substantiated in law, while other claims in whistleblower videos were deemed hearsay.

The case saw two Sabah assemblymen, Datuk Dr Yusof Yacob (Sindumin) and Andi Muhammad Suryady Bandy (Tanjung Batu), along with businessman Datuk Albert Tei Jiann Cheing, charged in the Kota Kinabalu Special Corruption Court with receiving and giving bribes totalling RM350,000 linked to mineral prospecting licences.

All three pleaded not guilty. The court set Aug 5 for pre-trial case management.
