SHAH ALAM (Bernama): The former MP for Kota Tinggi, Datuk Noor Ehsanuddin Mohd Harun Narrashid, has once again been brought to court – the Sessions Court here this time – to face five charges of receiving kickbacks.

The bribes are said to have been in the form of maintenance for two vehicles, as well as the legal fee for purchase land totalling RM12,707.60.

Noor Ehsanuddin, 56, pleaded not guilty after the charges were read by the court interpreter before Judge Rozilah Salleh on Thursday (Feb 14).
