2 Kimanis PKR members remanded in corruption probe

They were arrested last night following a tip-off from the public.

KOTA KINABALU:
Two Kimanis PKR members have been remanded for six days from today to assist the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) investigations of a corruption case.

Magistrate Afiq Agoes issued the remand order on both suspects, aged 46 and 47, following the application from MACC officer Faliq Basiruddin.

Both arrived at the Sabah Contingent central lockup, here, at 11am and left 30 minutes later.

One of the suspects is believed to be a candidate in the party polls while the other is a party member.

They were brought to the state MACC office for further investigations before being arrested at 8.40pm last night, following a tip-off from the public.

However, the MACC has yet to ascertain the amount involved and its purpose as the investigation under Section 16 (a) (B) of the MACC Act 2009 is still ongoing.
