Ampang Jaya Municipal Council (MPAJ) enforcement director Kapten (Rtd) Abdul Kudus Ahmad has been sacked with immediate effect for making a false declaration regarding his bankruptcy status.

Announcing this today, Selangor Menteri Besar Dr Mohamed Khir Toyo said Abdul Kudus made the declaration during his appointment by stating that he was free from debts and had no liabilities on promisory notes either as a lender or borrower.

He said, on the date of Abdul Kudus' appointment on Jan 15 2001, he had been declared a bankrupt by the Kuala Lumpur High Court for failure to settle debts with two banks, namely Bank Bumiputra Malaysia Berhad involving RM12,533.45 and Arab Malaysian Finance Berhad involving RM12,463.96.
