A DIRECTOR of a federal agency based in Kelantan is expected to be charged in court soon over multiple corruption and abuse of power offences, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) confirmed on Thursday.

"The suspect is a director who is expected to retire soon. Investigations have been completed, and the individual will be brought to court in the near future," he said at a press conference.

Azam had earlier attended the retirement ceremony of outgoing Kelantan MACC Director Rosli Husain, who formally handed over duties to his successor, Azmin Yusuff. - July 3, 2025
