Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 48817, member: 636"] Malaysia's top corruption fighters plan to arrest a high-ranking government worker soon. The man runs a federal department office in Kelantan state. Anti-corruption officials accuse him of stealing money and lying about expenses. He faces three serious criminal charges that could land him behind bars. The director was about to retire when investigators caught up with him. MACC chief Azam Baki announced the upcoming arrest at a news conference yesterday. Prosecutors have already agreed to file the charges against the corrupt official. The arrest should happen within two or three weeks according to Azam. He refuses to name the accused man but promises more details soon. The case shows how anti-corruption teams are cracking down on dishonest civil servants. Azam spoke after watching the handover ceremony for Kelantan's new MACC director. The corruption fighter worked in the same state from 1989 to 2000. He says new methods are needed to catch crooked officials who steal public money. The investigation into this director has finished completely. Azam wants other government workers to learn from this man's downfall. The corruption chief believes tough action sends a clear message to the public. Citizens need to see that anti-corruption teams are doing their jobs properly. Directors who break the law cannot lead their departments effectively. The case proves that even senior officials face consequences for their crimes. MACC officers will continue hunting down corrupt government workers across Malaysia. [/QUOTE]
