[KiniNews] Former Penang deputy chief minister II P Ramasamy was charged in the Butterworth Sessions Court today on 17 counts of criminal breach of trust (CBT) involving funds belonging to the Penang Hindu Endowment Board (PHEB) totalling RM859,131.29.

Ramasamy, 76, pleaded not guilty to all the charges before judge Zulhazmi Abdullah.

All the 17 charges were framed under Section 409 of the Penal Code, which provides a maximum prison sentence of 20 years with whipping and a fine.

Meanwhile, in a separate story, political economist Edmund Terence Gomez said the third contract extension for Azam Baki as MACC chief commissioner under the Madani government reflects badly on Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

He also lamented how Azam’s contract extension blatantly goes against previous promises made by former opposition figures who have since gained positions in Putrajaya.
