They were believed to have duped not less than 450 members of the co-operative, resulting in hundreds of thousands of ringgit in commission to the board of directors and also to have allegedly abused their power by colluding with the individual from the supply company to allow the co-operative to pre-purchase goods and resell them to the same supplier.
