Selangor Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim will be charged in connection with the allegation that he abused his power over the expense incurred for the maintenance of a luxury car and the purchase of cows.

According to Utusan Online, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Ahmad Said Hamdan said there is strong evidence in relation to the case.

He added that the investigation papers are ready and will be submitted to the Attorney-General's Chambers soon.

Khalid is expected to release a media statement on the matter this afternoon.

On Wednesday, Khalid had filed two suits against former Selangor menteri besar Dr Mohd Khir Toyo regarding the 'car and cows' allegations which appeared in the New Straits Times and Utusan Malaysia.

Mohd Khir had alleged that the current menteri besar had purchased a Lexus as his official car. However, Khalid later clarified that the car was his own but he was using it for official purposes as well.

Following this, an anti-corruption watchdog filed a MACC report accusing Khalid of using public funds to maintain the vehicle.

On the cattle issue, Khalid was accused of misusing RM110,400 of state funds for the purchase of cattle for his Bandar Tun Razak parliamentary constituency in conjunction with the Hari Raya Korban celebrations.

The menteri besar later explained that the arrangements to purchase and donate the cattle were made solely by state agency Selangor Development Corporation (PKNS) and the donor companies, without his or his officers' involvement.
