Malaysian anti-graft authorities have arrested a lecturer who is accused of demanding sex and money from students in return for giving them pass grades in exams, a top official said Thursday.
The unnamed university lecturer from Selangor state, described as a foreigner in his 40s, was arrested Wednesday after a 24-year-old student lodged a complaint to the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
"We are investigating the case. I cannot reveal further details until he is charged in court," the ACC deputy head Abu Kassim Mohamed told AFP.
"We will try to complete our investigation as soon as possible since it involves a foreigner," he added. Abu Kassim did not elaborate.
According to a report in the Star newspaper, the lecturer was said to have approached the victim and told her she did not score a high enough grade in the qualifying exam to continue her Master's degree.
He is then alleged to have demanded sex and money from the student in return for giving her an improved grade, but was refused by the woman, the report added.
