The six-day remand order, from today until Sept 19, was issued by magistrate Nik Isfahanie Tasnim Wan Ab Rahman following an application by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC)
Yesterday, the media reported that MACC detained four individuals for allegedly siphoning monies from the fund which was intended for a skilled training corporation.
According to the report, those detained were the 58-year-old CEO of a skills development fund corporation, a secretary, 34, assistant finance officer, 32, and a 38-year-old private company director with a doctorate.
They were detained at several locations in the federal capital in a special operation by MACC.
In another development, the court also ordered the release of two individuals who were in remand for an investigation into a false invoice claim amounting to US$5.56 million (about RM23.65 million) for a project in Bintulu, Sarawak.
They are a former male executive of an oil exploration company, aged 40, who is now a businessman, and the 53-year-old husband of a woman director of a contracting company, which was appointed to implement the project.
