KUALA LUMPUR – A researcher, who alleged that The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) offered RM10 million to a Bersatu leader to alter his statement, has claimed trial to charges of obstruction.
Mohamad Shafiq Abdul Halim, 32, was charged before the sessions court here under Section 48(c) of the MACC Act 2009, reported Malaysiakini.
Sessions court judge Suzana Hussain fixed bail at RM10,000 with one surety.
Case mention is fixed on April 7.
Previously, he had alleged that MACC offered RM10 million to former Bersatu information chief Datuk Wan Saiful Wan Jan to supposedly alter his statement during an investigation into the Jana Wibawa initiative.
Shafiq was arrested on February 22 after he showed up at MACC headquarters in Putrajaya when summoned.
He had apologised for his remarks, saying he did not intend to accuse anyone and described his remarks as responses to rumours.
This came after a 44-second video was shared on Twitter where a man alleged that MACC offered RM10 million to Wan Saiful. – The Vibes, March 7, 2023
