Azlan, 64, will face charges under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act (AMLATFPUAA) 2001.

In a statement to the media today, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), said it has received permission to prosecute a former menteri besar tomorrow.

Yesterday, Azlan claimed trial in the Kangar sessions court to five counts of submitting false overseas travel claims amounting to more than RM1.18 million between 2013 and 2017.

Azlan was the Pauh assemblyman from 2013 to 2018, before winning the Bintong state seat in 2018, but lost the seat in the last general election.

He was the Perlis menteri besar from 2013 to 2022 and failed to defend his post as Umno Kangar division chief in the party’s elections recently.
