By Boo Su-Lyn, The Malaysian Insider
A former Sime Darby Engineering senior manager was tortured by Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officers over graft allegations, claimed his lawyer in the Sessions Court here today.
Mazhazmi Jamaludin was charged today with receiving a RM200,000 bribe from MLC Shipbuilding Sdn Bhd on December 31, 2008 for allegedly proposing that the shipbuilding company obtain a US$134.2 million (RM416 million) contract from Sime Darby to construct and sell one lay barge as well as two tug and supply vessel hulls.
“When he (Mazhazmi) was detained (by the MACC), he was stripped naked, blindfolded and asked to do all sorts of physical acts, like standing on one leg in front of his interrogators,” Mazhazmi’s lawyer Shamsul Sulaiman said.
“He was told ‘Mampuslah kau nanti’ (You will be destroyed) until he was forced to give a statement as demanded by his interrogators,” he added.
