Jual tanah atas kepentingan, bekas pengarah besar badan berkanun antara ditahan

Two former executives of a charitable organization are currently in custody, accused of breaching the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Agency (SPRM). The head of SPRM, Abd Halim Aman, confirmed the arrests based on Section 16 of the SPRM Act. The higher-ranking former chief executive, believed to be in his 60s, and the younger one, estimated to be around 50, were apprehended around 4 pm yesterday while providing statements at SPRM headquarters in Putrajaya.

The pair is also alleged to have been involved in the sale of land belonging to the charitable organization to a company with a vested interest, without the knowledge of the board of directors and the company's subsidiaries. They are also charged with abuse of power, misuse of authority, and corruption in the appointment of a private company for a project in Kuala Lumpur.

The second suspect will be brought before the Putrajaya High Court tomorrow to obtain a warrant for further proceedings. During a recent interview, Abd Halim Aman confirmed the arrests and stated that the case is being investigated under Section 16 of the SPRM Act.
