The offence was allegedly committed by the accused at the Ministry of Defence on November 27, 2023.
If convicted, he could be punished under Section 409 of the Penal Code which provides for imprisonment of between two and 20 years, whipping and a fine.
Earlier, he arrived at the Sessions Court, in Kuala Lumpur, accompanied by officers from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
Neatly dressed in a dark blue suit, he smiled at the media while briefly greeting them: "How are you today?" before raising his hand in a brief salute as he entered the courtroom.
The situation in the court was orderly, with members of the public, court officers and media representatives filling the gallery. – January 30, 2026
