A UniSZA Quantity Surveyor Faced Charges for Allegedly Accepting RM30,000 in Bribes

A senior quantity surveyor at Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA) has pleaded not guilty to nine charges related to accepting bribes totalling RM30,000. These alleged bribes included a significant sum of cash and a motorcycle. The charges stem from actions taken between May 2019 and July 2020.
Cash Bribes Allegedly Received

The surveyor, Malike Mohamed, 52, is accused of receiving cash amounting to RM14,500. These payments were allegedly made by a representative of AMZ Sepakat Sdn Bhd, identified as Azman Yusof. The prosecution contends that these cash transactions occurred at a bank between May 15, 2019, and July 6, 2020.
Motorcycle Allegedly Accepted as Bribe

In addition to the cash, Malike Mohamed is also alleged to have accepted a Yamaha Y15ZR motorcycle. This motorcycle was reportedly received from Azman in August 2019. The prosecution highlighted that Malike was aware of the connection between the giver of the motorcycle and his official position.
Total Value of Alleged Bribes

The combined value of the cash and the motorcycle allegedly accepted by the UniSZA surveyor amounts to RM30,000. The charges brought against Malike are under Section 17(a) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act 2009 and Section 165 of the Penal Code. These sections carry potential penalties including lengthy prison sentences and substantial fines.
Bail and Case Management

During proceedings at the Sessions Court, the MACC deputy public prosecutor proposed bail at RM12,000 for all charges. This proposal also included three additional conditions: the accused must not disturb prosecution witnesses, must report to the MACC office monthly, and must surrender his passport. The judge approved bail at RM12,000 with one surety, along with the prosecution's requested conditions. The court has set March 10 for mention and document management.
