KUALA LUMPUR: A former managing director of Felcra Training & Consultancy Sdn Bhd was charged at the Sessions Court here today with 33 counts of misappropriation and abuse of power amounting to RM1.6 million.
Rohaizat Ahmad, who claimed trial to all charges, was accused of committing the offences under Section 23 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act 2009 between April 2014 and June last year.
Rohaizat, 54, was accused of using his position at the company to solicit bribes for a relative after allegedly appointing Al Maisan Enterprise, a company belonging to one of his in-laws, to supply electronic equipment.
Rohaizat’s relative was said to have a stake in the company.
Judge Azura Alwi set bail at RM80,000 and instructed Rohaizat to surrender his passport.
Rohaizat was also instructed to report himself to the MACC headquarters every month until his trial concludes.
Azura fixed Oct 10 for re-mention.
Kinabatangan MP Bung Moktar Radin, who was the non-executive chairman of Felcra, and his wife Zizie Ezette, were previously charged with corruption amounting to RM2.8 million over Felcra Bhd’s investment in unit trusts worth RM150 million.
He was accused of obtaining for himself RM2.2 million, RM262,500 and RM337,500 from two unit trust agents through investment accounts under Zizie’s name. - FMT
