Bekas pengerusi TH, Azeez didakwa salah guna kuasa
Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim mengaku tak salah atas pertuduhan guna kedudukannya dapat jawatan dalam Putrajaya Perdana dan pengaruhi keputusan pelaburan RM193.5 juta.
Malaysia's former Tabung Haji president, Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim, has pleaded guilty in court to abuse of his position for personal gain, according to a report from Kuala Lumpur. Facing up to 20 years in prison and a fine of at least five times the value of the gifts or RM10,000, if proven guilty, Abdul Azeez admitted to misusing his position at Tabung Haji to secure a position and privileges at a private company.
The 60-year-old was charged with using his role as president to influence the executive chairman at the time, Ismee Ismail, to nominate him as an alternative Hajj fund representative in Putrajaya Perdana. This position reportedly came with an annual allowance of RM690,000 and included a BMW 7 Series and chauffeur. Additionally, Abdul Azeez was accused of influencing the Tabung Haji's investment board to approve investments totaling RM193.5 million in Putrajaya Perdana, which he was allegedly interested in.
The alleged misconduct took place at Tabung Haji on August 25, 2014, and the charges stem from Section 23(1) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Agency Act 2009, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a fine of five times the value of the gifts or RM10,000, whichever is greater.
