MACC to charge Works Department director in graft case [WATCH]

PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is set to charge a Works Department director tomorrow over alleged bribery involving hundreds of thousands of ringgit.

MACC deputy chief commissioner Datuk Seri Ahmad Khusairi Yahaya said today that the case was investigated by the commission's Special Operations Division and is now complete.

"We expect to charge the director tomorrow at the Special Corruption Sessions Court in Jalan Duta," he said at MACC Headquarters.

As part of the investigation, the MACC has frozen 95 bank accounts, comprising 79 belonging to individuals and 16 linked to companies, with a total value of RM613 million.

The commission has also seized properties, vehicles, and cash believed to be connected to the case.

In May, the MACC remanded six individuals, including two senior civil servants with the title 'Datuk' and an engineer from a government department, for allegedly receiving bribes in connection with development and maintenance contract awards since 2021.

According to a source, initial investigations revealed that the two main suspects, who hold the positions of director and engineer at a government department, had received approximately RM115,000 from middlemen in the form of cash, home renovation payments, and mobile phones.

PTPTN shock: 400,000 borrowers haven't paid a sen in over a decade

PUTRAJAYA: A total of 400,000 National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) loan recipients have never made a single repayment.

Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir said that the outstanding amount had reached RM5 billion, involving borrowers who had completed their studies over a decade ago.

"This involves individuals who, from day one until now, have not paid a single sen.

"This group of defaulters — numbering around 400,000 — has amassed RM5 billion in unpaid loans over the last 10 years or more," he said during a Higher Education Minister's briefing session with editors-in-chief here today.

Zambry said that PTPTN offered flexible repayment plans and loan restructuring options to assist borrowers facing financial difficulties.

"If the arrears are substantial, borrowers can discuss an initial payment amount with PTPTN officers. We don't demand 100 or even 50 per cent upfront — the arrangement could cover several months of monthly instalments, depending on the arrears period.

He said repayment amounts were assessed based on salary slips — usually around five to six per cent of monthly income.

"We also consider the borrower's age. For instance, if the borrower is already 40, the repayment period can be extended up to the age of 60.

"We have several parameters to determine the lowest possible monthly instalment and the upfront payment. Typically, the minimum amount covers between three and six months of instalments," he added.On Feb 24, it was reported that total of 1.2 million PTPTN borrowers have yet to settle their loans, resulting in outstanding debts of RM10.8 billion as of Dec 31, 2023.

Auditor General Datuk Wan Suraya Wan Mohd Radhi, in her latest report, said outstanding education loan repayments had also increased from RM7.316 billion in 2019.
