| - The Sabah State Water Department corruption probe (Malay: Siasatan Rasuah Jabatan Air Negeri Sabah) refers to a 2015 to 2016 widespread investigation by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) over the alleged abuse of power inside the Sabah State Water Department resulting in the arrest of two senior officers in the state agency along with the confiscation of RM3 million which had been kept inside a safe deposit box in the office of one of the suspects, together with a total of RM52 million cash were seized from various more places, including from the officials' house which also includes gold and stone jewellery, luxury brand watches, 94 branded handbags, nine luxury cars and folders containing 127 land grants of the two officers. Another businessman with the title of "Datuk" (one of the officials brother) and his accountant were also arrested in connection with the case. During the confiscation of the RM52 million, the MACC members of 30 people took 15 hours to go through, using the serial numbers to estimate some of the sealed stacks. The total confiscation then increase to RM53.7 million, RM112 million and finally to RM114.5 million, with the case been considered as the largest ever confiscation by MACC in the country corruption history. Until 12 October 2016, the four people remain arrested, with another five people been called to help facilitate the investigation following the record statements from 40 people, including department officers and contractors. Three of the witnesses surrender a total of RM1 million to MACC after giving their statements on the probe. Further investigation revealed another RM30 million in foreign banks with money trail leading to Australia and New Zealand and another RM30 million in land titles. For over 5 years, both of the two main suspects had taken 60% of state funds channelled by the federal government that supposedly been used for water supply works. (en)
