The Corruption Court in Kota Kinabalu on Tuesday allowed Sindumin assemblyperson Yusof Yaacob and Tanjung Batu assemblyperson Andi Suryady Bandy to temporarily reclaim their passports for overseas travel.

Both men, who are on trial for receiving bribes totalling RM350,000, had sought the return of their passports for four months, citing work commitments as lawmakers and, in Yusof’s case, his role in government-linked companies.
