MPAJ official suspended, ACA investigating corruption allegation
Deputy Housing and Local Government Minister M Kayveas has handed over documents to the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) to back his allegation that an Ampang Jaya Municipal Council (MPAJ) official was involved in corrupt practices.
He had named enforcement chief Kapt (B) Abdul Kudus Ahmad as having allegedly accepted bribes averaging RM70,000 a month to protect businessmen and to tip off 'tontos' about the council's impending raids, according to recent Malay Mail reports.
Kayveas, when contacted, said four ACA officers had collected the information from him at his office about 2pm today.
Abdul Kudus could not be contacted for comments today, but a Bernama report said he had been suspended for a month with effect from tomorrow, pending the outcome of a disciplinary hearing by the MPAJ.
