MELAKA - Former political secretary to former Melaka Chief Minister pleaded not guilty at the Sessions Court here today to 12 counts of accepting bribes totalling RM408,736 in 2017 and 2018.

On the first count, Datuk Rosli Hasan, 52, was charged with accepting a bribe of RM323,736 in the form of renovation work on the house belonging to his wife in Taman Pokok Mangga between May 2017 and February 2018.

On 11 other charges, he was alleged to have accepted bribes in the form of credit card payments totalling RM85,000 between May and Oct 19, 2017.
