SHAH ALAM: Two former senior officers of a private hospital were charged in the Sessions Court here for soliciting and accepting bribes linked to the awarding of contracts for medical equipment supply and land purchase for the hospital.

Former chief operating officer R. Mahendran, 52, and former project manager Wong Soon Kee, 65, both pleaded not guilty after the charges were read before Judge Rozilah Salleh on Friday .

He allegedly committed the act at a restaurant in Subang Jaya, near here, between Jan 1, 2018 and Oct 23, 2019. He allegedly committed the offence at a restaurant also in Subang between January and June, 2016, in addition to three charges of accepting bribes amounting to RM90,090 for himself through fund transfers from the same company's account to his own account as wages for helping the company obtain supply contracts at two of the hospital’s branches.

Rozilah allowed bail for Mahendran at RM70,000 and Wong at RM40,000, with one surety and ordered them to surrender their passports to the court.
