Allegations of corruption involving Sabah state assemblypersons have emerged following a whistleblower’s disclosure about several videos showing the people’s representatives allegedly discussing money they received for supporting a company’s bid for a state project.

The whistleblower, who has since admitted that he was the bribe-giver, had expressed his readiness to share all the purported evidence in his possession with MACC but wanted the authority to accord him protection under the Whistleblower Protection Act (WPA).
