Tajuddin detained by MACC on abuse of power charges
PUTRAJAYA – Former Prasarana non-executive chairman Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman was detained by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) yesterday on two charges of abuse of power.
It is learnt that the Pasir Salak MP was arrested after he presented himself for questioning at the MACC headquarters here yesterday afternoon but was released on oral bail (jaminan mulut), which is usually accorded to government servants in the evening.
He was, in fact, supposed to have been charged yesterday itself. However, the MACC is still awaiting instructions from the Attorney-General’s Chambers.
Details of the charges are not immediately available but Tajuddin has been previously accused of interfering with Prasarana’s operations and business dealings, where allegations of conflict of interest had surfaced.
The Vibes is awaiting confirmation from the MACC.
Tajuddin was sacked as chairman by the Finance Ministry on Wednesday – two days after two light rail transit (LRT) trains collided, injuring 213 passengers.
Calls for his sacking from all quarters were amplified following a disastrous press conference he held on Tuesday, where he seemed to have trivialised the incident. – The Vibes, May 28, 2021
