KOTA BARU: A former bank manager, who was arrested by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) yesterday to facilitate investigations into a corruption case involving RM50,000, has been remanded today.
The remand order was obtained before Magistrate Rais Imran Hamid here under Section 117 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
Kelantan MACC director Rosli Husain said the man has been remanded for five days beginning today.
"The remand order is to facilitate our investigation into the case," he said.
Yesterday, the state MACC detained the man, in his 50s, when he turned up at the state MACC office to give his statement at 3pm.
According to sources, the man had allegedly solicited the money from his clients to enable them to join programmes organised by the bank.
The sources said the man has been actively doing this since 2022.
The case is being investigated under Section 16 of the MACC Act.
