KUALA LUMPUR: The director-general of the Survey and Mapping Department is expected to face two charges at the Sessions Court here today over the alleged misuse of power to obtain funds for personal gain.
He arrived at 7.58am, dressed in a white shirt and carrying a coat, and was seen walking alongside a woman without any officers from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
He is expected to be charged before Sessions Court judge Suzana Hussin.
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 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.
