KUALA LUMPUR, JULY 2026 – A police station chief has been remanded for seven days to assist an investigation into allegations that he accepted a RM500 bribe from a foreign national.
The remand order against the 41-year-old suspect was issued by Magistrate Amirul Asyraf Abdul Rashid at the Kota Bharu Magistrate’s Court following an application from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission.
The suspect will remain in custody until July 26 under Section 117 of the Criminal Procedure Code while investigators continue gathering evidence and recording statements related to the case.
According to the initial investigation, the officer is suspected of accepting RM500 from a foreign national who holds a United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees card. The payment was allegedly given in exchange for the officer not taking action against the individual.
Kelantan MACC director Azmin Yusoff confirmed that the suspect was arrested at approximately 2.20pm on July 19. The case is being investigated under Section 17(a) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009.
The suspect arrived at the Kota Bharu Court Complex at about 9am wearing the commission’s orange detention uniform and was accompanied by two enforcement officers.
The investigation focuses on whether the alleged payment influenced the officer’s performance of his official duties. Authorities have not disclosed further details about the action the foreign national was allegedly attempting to avoid.
The seven-day remand allows investigators to examine relevant documents, verify the circumstances surrounding the alleged transaction and determine whether other individuals were involved.
A remand order is issued to facilitate an investigation and does not amount to a conviction. The suspect remains presumed innocent unless proven guilty through court proceedings.
The case has drawn attention because police officers hold public authority and are responsible for enforcing the law without favour. Allegations involving payments to avoid enforcement action may affect public confidence in the integrity of government institutions.
