Top military retirements not linked to graft probe, says Mohamed Khaled


KUALA LUMPUR: The upcoming retirements of Armed Forces Chief Tan Sri Mohd Nizam Jaffar and Military Intelligence head Leftenan Jeneral Datuk Mohd Razali Alias are unrelated to the ongoing Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) investigation codenamed "Ops Sohor," says Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin.

"It is not related (to the MACC investigation)," Khaled said when contacted on Saturday (Nov 22), dismissing speculation about any connection between the retirements and the high-profile probe, which has led to the arrest of several military officers alleged to be involved in a smuggling syndicate.
