ACA naps an Umno ADUN
ACA nabs Umno Negri rep for RM2,000 bribe
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 31 — The Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) has arrested an Umno state assemblyman for allegedly accepting a RM2,000 bribe from a housing developer.
The arrest set off charges that the Negri Sembilan assemblyman was a victim of a political stitch-up. He is the third state legislator who has been picked up by the ACA in recent weeks.
Last week, two Parti Keadilan Rakyat state assemblymen were charged in court for accepting bribes to speed up approvals for a housing project.
The ACA has been on a sweep in recent weeks as it uses its expanded powers to root out corruption.
The agency has also nabbed 36 Puspakom officers and 21 runners for suspected graft to certify vehicles as roadworthy.
