Widow seeking justice

KUALA LUMPUR: The widow of Ahmad Sarbaini Mohamed told the High Court today that she filed legal action against the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to seek justice for his death.
Masiah @ Maziah Manap, a supervisor with Petronas Dagangan Berhad in Shah Alam, said she and her children wanted the MACC to explain why her husband and their father was returned to them in a "stiff and lifeless" form.
Ahmad Sarbaini, 56, a Selangor Customs assistant director who was then based at Port Klang, was found dead on April 6, 2011, at the badminton court on the first floor of the MACC office in Jalan Cochrane here.
He was believed to have fallen from the pantry on the third floor.
He had gone to the MACC office voluntarily to meet an investigating officer regarding a corruption case involving 62 Customs officers.
"MACC must accept responsibility for what had happened to my husband because he was in their premises when his life was taken," she said in tears during the proceedings.
Masiah, 53, was testifying on the first day of the suit which she filed with her son Shahril Ahmad Sarbani, 30, against the MACC and eight others. – Bernama
