How MACC man spent RM2.7 million of stolen cash to purchase cars, house, luxury items
SHAH ALAM - Shocking and surprising. Those two words are very fitting to describe the confession made by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) senior enforcer at the Session Court last Friday.
The accused, Shahrum Nizam Baharuddin, 41 who has been serving the agency for 17 years, pleaded guilty to spending part of the confiscated money worth US$6.94 million (RM29 million).
The Sessions Court then sentence him to three years imprisonment effective from the date of arrest on Sept 13, 2021, and to be caned twice.
However, the dishonest action of Shahrum Nizam has tarnished his own name and the integrity of MACC as hew previously awarded as a modelled employee.
In fact, many are now questioning the security protocol for confiscated assets under MACC's custody.
Listed below are the assets that Shahrum Nizam had purchased with the money he stole.
