PETALING JAYA:

 Terengganu executive councillor Hanafiah Mat has been slapped with two abuse of power charges at the Kuala Terengganu sessions court.

Hanafiah, the Cukai assemblyman who oversees the state’s infrastructure, utilities and rural development portfolio, pleaded not guilty, reported Harian Metro.

He allegedly abused his position as an executive councillor and chairman of a company’s board of directors by directing that his two children be appointed to positions in two subsidiaries owned by the state government.

The alleged offences were said to have been committed between 2018 and 2020. - FMT
