Another individual, a member of the public, was also remanded for three days until Sunday, in connection with the same investigation. The remand order was issued by Magistrate Ezrene Zakariah following an application by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) at the Putrajaya Magistrates’ Court. It is understood that the MACC investigation is currently focusing on allegations of abuse of power and corruption, linked to the management of e-waste, believed to have occurred over the past several years. He said the commission would not compromise with any party involved in corrupt practices, regardless of their position or rank.
