MACC Postpones Charging Datuk For Corruption




KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) postponed the charging of a former special officer to the Malacca Historical City Council (MBMB) mayor with corruption today after the man was not contactable.

MACC sources said investigators had attempted to serve a notice to summon the 56-year-old man who has a Datuk title but could not contact him. However, investigators managed to track down the man's whereabouts later in the day and he is expected to be charged on another date by this week.

The officer was arrested in Johor by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in Nov last year for investigations into the alleged siphoning of millions of ringgit involving work contracts awarded by the local government.

He was was freed on bail after spending several days in remand.

The MACC had also seized and frozen the suspect's assets which worth over RM150 million in cash, vehicles and land titles.

The Umno politician was removed from his position at the mayor's officer shortly after his release but was re-assigned as a BN working official recently.
