BUTTERWORTH: Former deputy chief minister Dr P. Ramasamy has arrived at the Butterworth Sessions Court to face charges of alleged abuse of power on Wednesday (May 14).

He is expected to be charged under Section 23(1) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act 2009.

It was reported that Ramasamy had been barred from leaving the country in December last year.

He later voluntarily went to the Penang MACC office and presented himself for questioning on alleged irregularities in the purchase of a chariot by the Penang Hindu Endowment Board (PHEB), of which he was the then chairman.
