It seized a further RM12,000 in cash, including foreign currencies, and RM200,000 in jewellery from the other six suspects.

MACC Intelligence Division senior director Datuk Saiful Ezral Arifin said in the same statement that the suspects had allegedly collaborated with a counter-setting syndicate.

It is believed they took bribes to facilitate the entry of foreign workers without going through procedures, he added.

"We also froze RM1mil in Tabung Haji and Amanah Saham Bumiputra (ASB) accounts," he added.
