Remember Dead Man Can’t TALK!
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s probe into graft
allegations involving billions of ringgit took a deadly turn after
a senior Customs officer fell to his death from the third floor of
the MACC building in Jalan Cochrane here.
Meanwhile, hundreds of freight forwarders were left fuming when
the Customs branches in Port Klang were apparently left unattended
yesterday.
The agents were initially upset with the slow processing of
documents, and things heated up when the agents learnt that
Selangor Customs assistant director Ahmad Sarbani Mohamed, who was
in charge of the Port Klang Import and Export Division, had fallen
to his death.
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Nazri
Aziz said the graft investigations must continue despite the
incident.
Several groups called for the setting up of a Commission of
Inquiry into the death, the second incident of a death plunge at an
MACC building.
A senior Selangor Customs officer under investigation by the
Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) fell to his death from
the third floor of the MACC building in Jalan
Cochrane.
Ahmad Sarbani Mohamed, 56, a Customs assistant director based in
Port Klang, had been released on bail two days ago after being
picked up in the commission’s investigation into a syndicate
laundering billions of ringgit via tax evasion activities.
His body was found sprawled in an open air badminton court
located on the first floor of the five-storey building at about
10.20am yesterday.
Ahmad Sarbani had gone to the MACC office
here on his own accord. Initial findings revealed he had arrived at
the building alone on a motorcycle at 8.26am.
