Ramasamy arrives at Butterworth Sessions Court, expected to be charged with abuse of power


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 arrived at the court at about 8.30am and was accompanied by his supporters.

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.
