Albert Tei arrested after 'unidentified' officers in masks raid home - Sinardaily - 28/11 12:05 am

KUALA LUMPUR - Businessman Albert Tei is believed to have been detained after "masked officers" forced their way into his home.His lawyer Zaid Malek said he arrived at his clients residence to find officers forcing their way into the home before arresting and handcuffing Tei."I was denied entry and prevented from meeting my client despite identifying myself as counsel."No officers had identified themselves. Their failure to do so was high-handed and unlawful, he said in a statement on Friday (Nov 28).He alleged that officers only spoke to him after he took photographs of the incident, and that they illegally demanded access to his phone to view the images.According to Zaid, Tei was later escorted out of the house in handcuffs and surrounded by armed personnel wearing balaclavas.It was as if they were arresting a terrorist.I do not even know for sure if they are police or MACC officers," he said.Zaid described the events as a breach of Teis constitutional rights, claiming that due process had been ignored and his clients right to legal counsel denied.He also questioned why action was being taken against a whistleblower rather than the individual Tei had reportedly provided information about the Prime Ministers former political secretary, Datuk Seri Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin.As of press time, the MACC has not issued a statement regarding the arrest or the allegations raised by Zaid

Muhyiddin allowed to obtain passport for medical treatment, visit family in the UK - Sinardaily - 18/11 4:22 pm

KUALA LUMPUR The High Court here on Tuesday allowed former Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin to retrieve his passport so he can travel to the United Kingdom (UK) for a pancreatic cancer check-up and to visit his grandchildren next month.Judge Noor Ruwena Md Nurdin made the decision after approving the application by Muhyiddin, 78, to obtain his passport from Dec 8 until Jan 5, 2026.She said the Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman had applied for the release of the travel document on Nov 6, citing the need to undergo medical examinations for an illness he has been battling since 2018.According to her, the applicant has an appointment at a medical centre in London on Dec 17 and also relied on the fact that the Sessions Court previously allowed similar applications for passport release.However, she said the prosecution did not object to his medical reasons but disagreed with granting the passport solely for Muhyiddins intention to spend time with his family, including three grandchildren who currently reside in the UK.She added that the prosecution also objected to the applicants request to go on vacation with his wife and family in Madrid, Spain.The applicant has booked flight tickets on Dec 15 and then to Madrid from Dec 20 until Jan 2, 2026.He and his wife will return to Malaysia via Dubai with a transit of five to six days and arrive in Kuala Lumpur on Jan 8, 2026, before returning the travel document to the court on Jan 12, the judge said.After reviewing both requests, she said the court saw no justification for such a long transit in Dubai when the duration could be shortened.She said that upon checking with the airline, there were still other options available for shorter transit dates.The applicant should have made early arrangements and obtained the courts permission first by submitting a proposal to the court.Instead, he booked the tickets, this is what opens the door to many similar applications in the future, she said.Ruwena added that the applicants decision to purchase flight tickets before filing the court application showed he was taking the risk of whether his request for passport release would be approved or not.As such, she advised the defence not to take future applications lightly.Based on the evidence and the courts discretion, this application is allowed on the condition that the passport return period is shortened, beginning from Dec 8 instead of today.It must be returned to the court on or before Jan 5 next year, she said.During the proceedings, lawyer Datuk Amer Hamzah Arshad, representing Muhyiddin, said that for reasons of medical treatment and visiting his family abroad, his client requested the passport to be released from Tuesday until Jan 12 next year.He urged the court to grant the applicant the opportunity to undergo recovery and spend quality time with his family without interference.My client poses no flight risk and Muhyiddin is determined to clear his name through the judicial process, he said.However, Deputy Public Prosecutor Mahadi Abdul Jumaat said the prosecution did not object to Muhyiddins request to undergo follow-up treatment in the UK.But he objected to the request to vacation with his wife and family in Madrid.This is because such an approval would open the door to many similar applications in the future.If the court intends to allow this application, I propose the passport release period only until Dec 20, he said.He was present with Deputy Public Prosecutors Noralis Mat and Wan Iman Wan Ahmad Afzal.For the first to fourth charges, the Pagoh MP is accused, as a public officer, namely the Prime Minister of Malaysia and Bersatu President, of using his position for bribes amounting to RM232.5 million from an individual, Azman Yusoff, 51 and three companies: Bukhary Equity Sdn Bhd, Nepturis Sdn Bhd and Mamfor Sdn Bhd, for the benefit of the partys associates.The offences were allegedly committed at the Prime Ministers Office, Perdana Putra Building, Federal Government Administrative Centre, here between March 1, 2020 and August 20, 2021.All charges were made under Section 23(1) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act 2009, punishable under Section 24(1) of the same Act.The section provides for imprisonment of up to 20 years and a fine of not less than five times the value of the bribe involved, or RM10,000 whichever is higher upon conviction.For the fifth and sixth charges, Muhyiddin, as the party president, is accused of receiving proceeds from unlawful activities amounting to RM195 million from Bukhary Equity, which was deposited into Bersatus CIMB Bank account.The offences were allegedly committed at CIMB Bank, Menara Kuala Lumpur branch, between February 25, 2021 and July 8, 2022.Both charges were filed under Section 4(1)(b) read together with Section 87(1) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (AMLATFPUAA), which carries a penalty under Section 4(1) of the same Act.This section provides for imprisonment of up to 15 years and a fine of not less than five times the amount or value of the proceeds from unlawful activities or the instrument of the offence at the time it was committed or RM5 million whichever is higher upon conviction.The court has set case management for Feb 23, 2026 and Muhyiddin is excused from attending the date.





No govt assets used in Sabah election campaign - Anwar - Sinardaily - 18/11 1:02 pm

KUALA LUMPUR - Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has stressed that no government assets were used in any programme during the 17th Sabah state election campaign.In fact, he said the use of official facilities, such as government vehicles, was solely for security reasons."There were no government programmes in Sabah. All my campaign events were under the partys banner, and this has been explained in Parliament."So, what vehicle should I use? A prime minister must use security personnel and official vehicles in any programme due to security considerations," Anwar said during Ministers Question Time in the Dewan Rakyat.He said this in reply to Ahmad Fadhli Shaari (PN-Pasir Mas), who questioned Anwars use of government assets while campaigning in Sabah recently.Anwar also stressed that he had explicitly prohibited government agencies from being involved in any party campaign activities.On a separate matter, Anwar said the investigation into a viral video allegedly showing corruption involving several Sabah assemblymen remains open and that he had also viewed the footage and believed there was a basis for the case to be probed."The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is investigating, and MACC has referred it to the Attorney Generals Chambers

Customs has tightened screening, inspection measures following major drug smuggling cases in 2023 - DG - Sinardaily - 17/11 8:49 pm

KUALA LUMPUR - A 100 per cent scanning policy, the use of artificial intelligence (AI)-based inspection systems, and mandatory pre-declaration for every container at ports are among the strict measures implemented following two major drug smuggling incidents at Port Klang in 2023.Royal Malaysian Customs Department (JKDM) director-general Datuk Anis Rizana Mohd Zainudin said the 100 per cent scanning, including for export containers, had been in effect since Nov 15, 2023, with Malaysia currently the only country implementing this, according to the World Customs Organisation review."Although the measure faced opposition from various parties including industry players and politicians, it is necessary to ensure the integrity and security of the countrys entry points, she told Bernama.In 2023, two drug smuggling cases were uncovered after the seizure of 376 kilogrammes (kg) of heroin on March 13 and 662 kg of methamphetamine on Oct 4 by the Australian Border Force.Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, while in Sabah yesterday, touched on the cases once again, and emphasised that aggressive measures had been taken by the MADANI government after decades of inaction against smuggling cartels and syndicates.Anwar reportedly said that since the cases were reported, aggressive action by the relevant agencies had resulted in seizures worth RM15.5 billion, with several individuals prosecuted in court.Anis Rizana said improvements also included the upgrading of scanning equipment with AI technology, dual-angle imaging, and dual energy, with the acquisitions approved by the Prime Minister, who is also Finance Minister.She added that the combination of AI technology and JKDM officers expertise had improved efficiency and integrity in container clearance processes, particularly at Port Klang.JKDM is currently procuring new scanning machines to replace four units at Port Klang, two in Penang, and one in Johor, with approvals from the Finance Ministry.Other measures include mandatory pre-declaration (Customs Form 2), requiring exporters to submit declarations before scanning."In addition, JKDM has enforced rotation of officers handling scanners in accordance with the Public Service Department (JPA) circular, requiring at least 50 per cent rotation."The Import Export Supporting Document System (SDSIE), introduced in September 2023, also reduces physical interaction as documents are stored online. This system was upgraded to MyCIEDS in January 2025 with improved audit capabilities, she said.She added that officers had also undergone Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) courses to enhance the ability to detect suspicious behaviour.Anis Rizana said these measures had also increased national revenue collection to RM62.47 billion from January to October 2025, compared with RM53.63 billion during the same period last year.She explained that container inspections within JKDMs operational areas fell under its jurisdiction, while illegal activities outside these areas were under police authority, with close cooperation, including with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).She also highlighted that regular unannounced inspections were conducted at ports."Since becoming the director-general, I have conducted more than 20 surprise inspections at Port Klang, including at midnight or 3 am, without uniform
