GEORGE TOWN: Former government agency chairperson Datuk has been granted RM10,000 bail after a week-long remand for alleged misuse of power linked to the sale of land in Seberang Prai Selatan in 2015. The 53-year-old was released on bail with one surety and a promise to appear in court. His defense attorney, Dr Shamsher Singh Thind, confirmed his client's full cooperation with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) throughout the investigation.
The judge extended the remand for the Datuk and a fellow developer in his 40s for three more days on Monday, but today both will be released. Three additional individuals previously remanded, including the chairman's relatives, have been released on bail. The case is being investigated by MACC.
