MACC uncovers Johor land scam


JOHOR BARU: Kickbacks from a massive land scandal in Johor involving tens of millions of ringgit started from 2013. The modus operandi was simple – convert bumiputra housing lots to non-bumiputra lots, which can fetch much higher prices.

Anti-graft officers uncovered the plot after sifting through stacks of documents seized from the state government and the developers, who were implicated recently.
