The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has arrested two Bangladeshi men, including a tourism company director, for allegedly running a syndicate that bribed enforcement officers to help foreign nationals enter Malaysia without proper checks.
The suspects, both in their 50s, were arrested in Negeri Sembilan and Kuala Lumpur. They are believed to be "foreign agents" who paid bribes to officers at Kuala Lumpur International Airport Terminal 1 (KLIA 1). Their method, known as "counter setting," allowed them to bypass immigration procedures for foreign nationals.
The two men have been remanded for six days until July 20. The MACC is investigating the case under Section 16(b) of the MACC Act 2009.
