FORMER armed forces chief Tan Sri Mohd Nizam Jaafar claimed trial at the Sessions Court today to four counts of corruption involving more than RM4.7 million.
Nizam, 60, was charged with two counts of abusing his position for gratification, one count of criminal breach of trust, and one count of accepting valuable items without consideration.
The charges were read before Judge Rosli Ahmad.
On the first and second charges, Nizam, who was then the assistant chief of staff (personnel services) and Armed Forces Welfare Fund (TKAT) executive committee chairman, is accused of using his position for gratification totalling RM552,481.90.
He allegedly committed the offences on June 24, 2024, at the Defence Ministry, by allegedly appointing several companies linked to his interests to supply Hari Raya gift items to TKAT last year.
The contracts involved the supply of kain pelikat and batik cloth, bath towels, backpacks, and multifunctional folding pliers, with a combined value exceeding RM3.5 million.
Both charges were framed under Section 23(1) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act, which carries a jail term of up to 20 years and a fine of not less than five times the value of the gratification or RM10,000, whichever is higher.
On the third charge, Nizam, in his capacity as assistant chief of staff and chairman of the TKAT investment committee, is accused of committing criminal breach of trust involving RM3 million belonging to the fund.
He allegedly committed the offence on Oct 4, 2024, when he dishonestly misappropriated the funds by making an additional investment in Precious Amber International Bhd without approval from the committee.
The charge was under Section 409 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum 20 years' jail, whipping, and a fine.
On the fourth charge, Nizam is accused of accepting RM200,000 without consideration from Aspen Red Sdn Bhd director Wan Shafie Abdul Rashid in March last year.
The accused, who was then the armed forces chief, allegedly accepted the money with knowledge that the individual had dealings connected to his official duties at Wisma Transit Kuala Lumpur.
The offence falls under Section 165 of the Penal Code, which carries a jail term of up to two years, a fine, or both. – January 23, 2026
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 23, 2026: The squeaky clean Royal Malaysia Armed Forces (RMAF) has been shamed by its four-star general who has gone into retirement under the cloud of Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) probe.
To the rakyat dan negara (people and country) is a shocking MACC action but welcoming in the fight against graft and the the thieves/pencuri-pencuri.

HARTA, TAKHTA DAN WANITA
I was a four-star general.
The kind that made corridors straighten, made microphones swallow their own saliva.
The nation stood when I walked, sat when I sighed,
and laws—ah, laws—they knew when to look away.
I was sixty.
But desire, like a government concession, had no retirement age.
I did not propose.
I acquired.
The way I acquired positions, acquired land, acquired silence.
I selected her the way men like me select destiny: young,
unwrinkled by reality, still soft enough to believe power is affection.
“She’s your youngest child’s age,” they said.
Age is just a statistic—and statistics, as history shows,
are very obedient when power is holding the pen.
I did not bring her to grand mosques.
Too many witnesses make love inconvenient.
I knew places where vows are compressed—one stamp, one whisper, one discreet exit.
Siam was far enough to forget, close enough to sin efficiently.
I paid in gold barsso she could feel the weight of worth.
I gave her a Mercedes AMG so speed would masquerade as freedom.
I clasped a Rolex on her wrist to convince time it belonged to us.
And I scattered millions so she would not notice
what was quietly being taken away.
I called it responsibility.
I called it protection.
I called it manhood.
I thought everything would remain buried—like many things I had buried before under the noble phrase national interest.
But this country loves stories.
Courts love documents.
And the people—oh, the people love knowing who sleeps with whom when the lights are off.
What remained was not secrecy, but my name in headlines
and her body learning how pain negotiates without mercy.
She developed a boil the size of fifty sen—ironic, really.
It was the only small thing I never planned for.
Now the nation knows: a four-star general
defeated not by enemies, but by appetite.
I could conquer battlefields, but failed to grasp a simple truth:
people are not assets, and marriage is not a covert operation.
My rank remains.
My medals still shine.
But every time I face the mirror, I see something
I cannot command, cannot bribe, cannot suppress.
Greed.
And for the first time in my life, I understand—there are wars
you lose completely.

Among the items seized in connection with a military graft probe - NSTP/MOHD FADLI HAMZAH
PUTRAJAYA: Graft busters today displayed 26 luxury watches, thick gold necklaces, gold bars, and cash seized through their Op Parasite and Op Star probes into several senior military officers.
One of the luxury watches seized, a Rolex, was estimated to be worth over RM200,000.
The press conference was held by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) following months of investigations into the officers over allegations of abuse of power, misappropriation of assets, and soliciting bribes.
After the question-and-answer session, MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki held one of the seized luxury watches for the media.
"I was told by my investigators that this watch was one of the more expensive ones seized. It is worth over RM200,000," he said.
Azam was also seen picking up a thick gold necklace complete with a large heart-shaped pendant, which left some reporters speechless.
He said the 26 watches seized had been authenticated.
Azam also picked up a compressed packet containing at least RM600,000 in cash.
During the press conference, Azam said graft busters had seized over RM8.42 million of gold, assets, and vehicles in their misappropriation of funds probe involving two senior armed forces officers.
The seizures included 66 gold plates weighing around 2.49kg, worth RM1.7 million, and three cars, including a Mercedes-Benz A-Class, a Toyota Vellfire, and two motorcycles.
They also seized RM1.3 million in cash and RM721,000 in foreign currency, while freezing eight company accounts and four personal accounts worth RM4.7 million.
Meanwhile, investigations into army procurement tenders have led to the seizure and freezing of nearly RM44 million in cash, luxury items, and funds held in multiple company accounts.
Among the items seized were RM4.4 million in cash, foreign currency valued at RM1.4 million, a Range Rover worth RM360,000, and 26 wristwatches valued at RM2.3 million, most of them Rolex.
Also seized were jewellery worth RM294,039, two diamond rings valued at RM20,000, gold bars weighing 3.7kg worth more than RM700,000 at current prices, more than 1kg of gold valued at RM2.5 million, gold medals weighing 150g valued at RM102,000, and two gold dinars weighing 8.5g valued at RM5,780.
The total value of seized physical items stands at RM11.4 million, while 75 company accounts involving RM32.5 million have been frozen.
Chief of Defence Force post officially vacant after former Army Chief retires early under cloud of MACC probe

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 12 — Former Army Chief Tan Sri Muhammad Hafizuddeain Jantan wants to take early retirement from the Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF), effective January 1, Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin said.
He said this was conveyed through Muhammad Hafizuddeain’s lawyer today, allowing the Armed Forces Council to begin the process of identifying a new candidate for the post of Chief of Defence Force (CDF).
“I have received a letter from Hafizuddeain’s lawyer, stating that he expressed his intention to retire early from the Armed Forces, specifically the Army, effective January 1 this year.
“With the early retirement request, it allows us to begin the process of finding a replacement. As is known, the Armed Forces Council had previously decided to appoint him as Chief of Defence Force,” he said.
Mohamed Khaled, who was met after delivering his New Year address at Wisma Perwira here today, said the appointment of the former Army Chief as CDF, which was scheduled to take effect on January 1, had been deferred due to an ongoing case involving him.
He said the CDF post is currently being carried out in an acting capacity by Royal Malaysian Navy chief Admiral Tan Sri (Dr) Zulhelmy Ithnain.
Mohamed Khaled said that with the announcement of early retirement effective January 1, the position of CDF is now officially vacant, enabling the Armed Forces Council to formally initiate the nomination process to fill the top military post.
“The Armed Forces Council will submit its recommendation to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim, as the Supreme Commander of the Malaysian Armed Forces, for consent, and this process will take some time,” he said.
On Thursday, a former Army chief was remanded for seven days, while his two wives were remanded for six and three days respectively from January 8, to assist investigations into a corruption case involving army procurement tenders.
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) also seized luxury assets worth more than RM2.2 million following a search at a residence on the east coast, believed to belong to the second wife of a former senior military officer detained in connection with the case.
On December 23, MACC officers were present at the Defence Ministry, with investigations focusing on projects implemented through open tender procurement methods as well as procurements under the Army Responsibility Centre (PTJ).
The MACC said the investigation involves the alleged receipt of bribes in a systematic manner, believed to be linked to a wider corruption network and the possible involvement of several other officers. — Bernama
