Ahmad Sarbani would never take a bribe, says family

Family members of late Selangor Customs Department assistant director Ahmad Sarbani Mohamed do not believe that the deceased was corrupt.

His younger brother Hassan, 53, said Ahmad Sarbani was a respectable man who would never have taken a bribe.

“My brother was a hardworking and responsible person. We do not believe he was corrupt,” he said when met at the Customs Department quarters in Kelana Jaya yesterday.

He said that Ahmad Sarbani, the eldest of eight siblings, was a happy-go-lucky, friendly and caring person.

Hassan said he and his family were deeply saddened by reports in several dailies claiming that his brother was corrupt.

“Just look at how he lived. Certain media reports claimed he was involved in money laundering and corruption. Then why did he stay at the Customs quarters if he had so much money?” he said.

Hassan also hoped that the media would allow his family to grieve in private.
