A SENIOR civil servant who is under probe for alleged corrupt practices over a multi-million ringgit contract to maintain the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL)-run crematorium in Cheras has been demoted, fined one day’s salary and put on administrative duties for a year.

Kuala Lumpur mayor Datuk Seri Mohd Amin Nordin Abd Aziz said City Hall’s disciplinary committee decided to take action on the officer for failing to follow DBKL’s standard operating procedures (SOP) for tenders.
