KOTA BARU: Two more senior officers of the Armed Forces, both holding the title Datuk, are expected to be charged next week, it was revealed. Azam said the proposed charges against duo were to prioritise MACC action against highest-ranking officers. Azam said clean-up operations at identified corruption and leakage hotspots must be carried out aggressively, including close monitoring of enforcement officers stationed at border checkpoints. Azam said leakages often stemmed from the involvement of a handful of enforcement officers, asserting that these activities would not thrive without elements of collusion. “Before we take action against smugglers, we must first ensure our officers possess the highest level of integrity,” he added.
