00:09 that allegedly took RM316,000 in bribes from 2018 to 2022.

00:15 The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission said the remand order was issued to four men and one woman

00:19 who are lawyers, law firm managers and a bank officer, aged between 37 to 53.

00:25 In a statement, Melaka MACC Director Adi Supian Shafi confirmed that the five suspects

00:29 were detained between 2pm and 4pm yesterday, Pernama reported.
