00:00Malaysian journalist Bin Nanta Kumar insisted that he has never asked for bribe from a foreign worker agent
00:07or took advantage of an article in which he wrote,
00:10denouncing the Foreign Workers' Reconciliation Syndicate.
00:13In today's Malaysian report, Nanta denies the claim of SPRM Chief Executive Officer Azam Baky
00:19that he asked for a bribe of RM100,000,
00:22which was then deducted up to RM20,000 from a foreign worker agent.
00:27He said the two Pakistan agents mentioned in the article offered him RM50,000 to settle the matter,
00:34but he refused.
00:36Nanta said he immediately informed the matter to the State Immigration Director
00:41who asked him to reconnect with the agent to help collect more concrete evidence.
00:47Nanta and the Pakistan agent then agreed to meet at a hotel in Sialam
00:52where he pretended to be interested in working with the agent.
00:56He said the agent then handed over a copy of the letter, which he took as evidence,
01:01to be handed over to the Immigration Director.
01:04However, Nanta said that within a few seconds,
01:07more than a dozen SPRM officers stopped him
01:10after being detained for four days before being released on bail.
