Eighteen JPJ officers to be charged in Penang

Eighteen Penang Road Transport Department (JPJ) officers will be charged at the Butterworth Court over three days beginning today but there may not be any "big fish" in the catch, said MACC chief commissioner Latheefa Koya.

Latheefa said six will be charged today, another six tomorrow and the remaining six will be charged on Friday.

Asked if any "big fish" - top personnel of the JPJ will be charged, Latheefa declined to comment.

But she went on to remark "I do not know what you mean by big fish, because these days, fishes have all kinds of sizes".

"As far as the JPJ case is concerned, we are dealing with many layers, officers and not so high ranking personnel," Latheefa said at a press conference in George Town yesterday evening.

"This is a continuation of a series of enforcement officers being caught, this case falls under the jurisdiction of Penang MACC," she stressed.

Asked about the challenges MACC faced in nabbing the suspects as it is a large group, Latheefa said: "we cannot comment on our operations".

Accompanying Latheefa at the MACC headquarters on Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah was MACC operations director Azam Baki.

This is her first visit to the state since her appointment as MACC chief two months ago.

Since April, 68 JPJ officers and personnel, two former APAD officers and nine civilians have been nabbed by MACC in a massive operation dubbed " Ops Sarat."

The suspects have allegedly taken bribes totalling more than RM80,000 since 2016, as an inducement to not act against errant lorry drivers who commit traffic offences. - Mkini
