KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is expected to charge a Survey and Mapping Department director-general tomorrow.

In a media invitation, the MACC said the director-general is expected to be charged at the Sessions Court here about 9am.

MACC Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki last week confirmed that the commission would charge two senior officers from the department this week.

He said this was just one of the cases involving senior officers and directors-general and was part of the commission's effort to boldly and radically fight corruption.

It was also reported that the MACC had arrested two senior officers from the department over alleged abuse of power and the submission of false claims involving funds from the Board of Land Surveyors Malaysia.

The MACC detained both suspects at its headquarters here about 10am on Feb 11 when they arrived to have their statements recorded. - NST
