KUALA LUMPUR: Two company directors in Sarawak have been arrested on suspicion of corruption as well as submitting false claims worth tens of millions...

: Two company directors in Sarawak have been arrested on suspicion of corruption as well as submitting false claims worth tens of millions of ringgit in connection with the implementation of 10 road upgrading projects under the Ministry of Defence in Sarawak worth some RM800 million.

“Many complaints were received from the local community regarding the bad road conditions due to the quality of construction that did not meet the specifications,“ the source told Bernama. “There is no layer of gravel and sand as stipulated in the terms of the contract, and this causes the roads traversed by heavy vehicles including timber lorries to be easily damaged, and cannot be used by light vehicles as a connecting road in the interiors,“ said the source.

The source further explained that the most shocking thing was that out of the four new contractors appointed by the state JKR for the project to upgrade and repair the roads, one was suspected to be owned by the same directors concerned. “Both the directors of this company will be brought before the Kuching Magistrate’s Court tomorrow for a remand application under Section 117 of the Criminal Procedure Code,“ said the source.
