PETALING JAYA: A former official of the Malaysian Malay Journalists Association (PWM) has lodged a police report against it over her alleged dismissal and the association's alleged abuse of power involving 10 blank cheques she claimed she was forced to sign.
Fauziah Mohd Johar, who was recently removed as PWM secretary-general after holding the post for four months, said her dismissal was unlawful as it did not follow stipulated procedures.
The senior writer of The Star, better known as Zieman, said the letter, dated May 10, had tarnished her reputation as a journalist.
She also told police that she was approached by PWM president Yazid Othman and his wife Norbaya Musa in midFebruary and asked to sign 10 blank cheques.
There were no payment vouchers accompanying the cheques, she alleged.
``Without giving much thought to it, I signed the cheques.
``Now that I have been dismissed, I am worried that the cheques could bring about adverse results to me if misused.
``This is the reason I have decided to make the police report,'' she said.
