00:00The Malaysian Corruption Prevention Commission received a report
00:05about a business owner who was suspected of being involved in corruption
00:09related to the Mineral Project in Sabah.
00:11The SPRM said early investigations revealed a link between several agents
00:16and the business owner, causing five of them to be called to record the conversation.
00:22The SPRM urged the public not to speculate
00:26and provided a clear and comprehensive investigation.
00:29As time went by, the SPRM found a source to say
00:32that a former right-hand man of a state-owned mining company in Sabah
00:36was accused of misusing his position through a long-standing relationship
00:40with a broker from Malaysia.
00:42The broker was accused of facilitating a mining company
00:46to obtain license through corruption in several countries.
00:49The source said that the difficult relationship
00:52caused Sabah Minister-General Haji Jinnur
00:55not to renew the involved agents' contracts
00:58due to the tactic of bribery by the agent and broker.
01:02Yesterday, the SPRM took the statement of Sabah Minister-General Shahlemi Yahya,
01:07Adun Kemabung Rubin Balang and Adun Tempasu Arsad Bistari
01:11in connection with the corruption case.
