KUALA LUMPUR: In a startling revelation, a DAP leader has claimed that a senior Customs Department officer may be connected to the death of his colleague, Ahmad Sarbani Mohamad.
Klang MP Charles Santiago said that he was informed of this by the freight forwarding agents in Port Klang.
“They think that Sarbani’s death is connected to him (the senior officer),” he told reporters in Parliament.
Santiago said that he knew the identity of the senior Customs officer but refused to reveal it at this point in time.
The opposition MP said he was briefed in detail by the freight forwarding agents, whom he added were fond of Sarbani, the Selangor Customs Department assistant director.
Sarbani had fallen to his death from the third-floor of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) office in Jalan Cochrane here yesterday.
He was among 62 officers arrested in a joint operation in Penang, Johor, Selangor and Pahang by a special task force comprising MACC, the Inland Revenue Board, the Customs Department and Bank Negara.
