Two Perak state executive councillors are among six people arrested by the Anti Corruption Agency (ACA) for alleged graft, involving a proposed housing project in Seri Iskandar worth RM 180mil. The two Exco members are Changkat Jering assemblyman Kapt (Rtd) Mohd Osman Mohd Jailu, 57, and Behrang assemblyman Jamaluddin Mohd Radzi, 52.
Confirming the arrests, state Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) director Samsiah Abu Bakar said Osman and four others were picked up at a hotel in Ipoh on Tuesday at 5.40pm while Jamaluddin was detained later when he went to the ACA office here.
Osman and the other four others – a PKR member, who stood and lost in the last general elections, a businessman, a Perak Development Corporation technician and a Perak Tengah district councillor – have been ordered to be remanded for three days to facilitate ACA officers in their investigations.
“We recovered RM100,000 in cash from the men but before that they have apparently been receiving (money) many times,” Samsiah told reporters at her office here Tuesday.
“They are also suspected to be involved in asking for sexual favours,” she said, although she later confirmed that neither Osman or Jamaluddin had solicited sexual favours.
The RM100,000, she added, was supposedly found inside a bag in the Osman’s possession.Samsiah estimated that the group had received altogether over RM120,000 from a contractor of the project in Seri Iskandar, Perak Tengah. Samsiah said the ACA was first alerted about the solicitation of payments by “a member of the public” last week.
