MACC locks down Singaporean ‘mastermind’ of RM3.5 bil Port Klang smuggling ring

Suspect faces accusations of bribing enforcement officers between 2022 and 2024, with investigations implicating 11 officers so far

KUALA LUMPUR – The Singaporean, who is believed to be the mastermind behind a RM3.5 billion Port Klang smuggling syndicate, will be spending six days in custody of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

The man in his 40s was detained at 5pm yesterday after he showed up at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya to give a statement, said a source.

This morning, the MACC was granted a six-day remand order, which ends on June 30, by Putrajaya magistrate Irza Zulaikha Rohanuddin.

The source added that the Singaporean was suspected of paying off enforcement officers in cash between 2022 and 2024.

So far, 11 officers are believed to be involved with the syndicate.

Meanwhile, MACC senior investigations director Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Hashim confirmed the remand order and that the case is being investigated under Sections 16(a) and 17(a) of the MACC Act 2009.

Previously, Scoop reported that the Singaporean was on an overseas vacation with his family. 

MACC had frozen nine bank accounts belonging to the company and the suspects to aid investigations. 

The graft busters had seized 19 containers, estimated to be worth around RM10 million, including taxes, containing various dutiable goods, such as LED, solar lights, canned pork products, wheelchairs and textiles. – June 25, 2024
