Ispandi Othman was slapped with 10 counts of failing to report that the managing director of another company had offered him RM100,000.

The money was meant to induce Ispandi to assist in speeding up claims filed by the other company’s managing director to the Social Security Organisation.

The alleged offences are said to have taken place between February 2021 and July 2022 at various locations in the city.

Ispandi was charged under Section 25(1) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009.

If found guilty, he will be liable to a fine of up to RM100,000, a jail sentence of no more than 10 years, or both.

Judge Rosli Ahmad granted him bail of RM50,000 with one surety.

The court also ordered him to surrender his passport pending the disposal of his case.

It fixed July 4 as next case management.

Lawyer Nor Azam Rashid Zainol Rashid represented Ispandi while deputy public prosecutor Selvam T Armugom appeared for the prosecution.
