Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Operational Director of state-owned construction company PT Adhi Karya Teuku Bagus Muhammad Noor is fired following his alleged involvement in corruption case, minister said.

"I have prepared the job termination letter, but this morning he (Noor) has already sent a resignation letter," State-owned Enterprises Minister Dahlan Iskan said here on Tuesday.

The minister said terminating Teuku`s position is the ministry`s effort to fight corruption.

The former Operational Director of PT Adhi Karya is said to have misused his authority in the construction project of Hambalang sports center.
