A source told FMT that Tajuddin was called in for questioning yesterday and was released on police bail.

Another source said he met with the MACC before heading to the Dang Wangi police headquarters to give his statement over his alleged breach of SOP at a press conference.

He is being investigated under Section 23 of the MACC Act 2009 for using an office or position for gratification.

The second source said MACC was preparing investigation papers to press charges soon.

FMT has reached out to MACC and Tajuddin for confirmation and comment.

This comes after the Pasir Salak MP was sacked as Prasarana chairman two days ago. He was previously criticised for his handling of a press conference held to address Monday’s LRT train collision which left 213 injured, with 60 being hospitalised.

The finance minister said in a letter addressed to the Umno elections director, dated May 26, that he was relieved of his post with immediate effect.

Tajuddin was appointed Prasarana chairman on May 11 last year.
