Lieutenant Colonel Zainal Mohamed Ali was found guilty of 14 counts of corruption amounting to RM207,100 yesterday in court. The 29-year-old former director of the Armed Forces Museum was charged with 8 counts of abusing his position to obtain gratification totaling RM154,600 from Mohamed Annuar Abdul, owner of Shura Trading Sdn Bhd, in exchange for awarding a contract to maintain and repair the museum.
Zainal was also charged with 5 counts of accepting a total of RM33,000 from Annuar for a contract to maintain and provide equipment to the museum.
The last charge was for using two false government purchase orders and Shura Trading invoices to cheat the Defence Ministry.
