KUALA LUMPUR, May 27 — The son of former Umno leader Datuk Seri Lajim Ukin was today charged with alleged corruption for using forged documents to win a government tender to build roads in Sembrong, Johor.
Nizam Lajim, 31, is accused of committing the offence on August 8, 2012, where he was said to have used a forged recommendation letter signed by then Rural Development Minister Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal to acquire the project.
Lajim renounced his positions in Umno in July 2012 and aligned himself with the Pakatan Rakyat opposition coalition.The letter purportedly stated the minister’s approval for the road work to be given to several companies allegedly linked to him.
Nizam was charged under section 471 of the Penal Code which carries a maximum two-year jail term or a fine or both.
