Three Sabah Water Dept employees surrender RM1mil of ill-gotten funds


KOTA KINABALU: Three Sabah Water Department employees have "voluntarily'' surrendered about RM1mil allegedly taken in the process of approving water projects under the RM3.3bil federal allocations since 2010.

Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) sources disclosed that the three returned the money after they were called in for questioning as witnesses in the ongoing graft investigations against two top water department officials who allegedly amassed some RM190mil through abuse of power and corruption.
