The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has extended a four-day remand for a former Tabung Haji CEO in connection with the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) probe. Magistrate Ezrene Zakaria granted the extension, effective until August 31, following an application by MACC. The former top executive, believed to be among several individuals under investigation by the commission, appeared in court at 9:30am wearing orange lock-up attire and handcuffed.
Earlier, two other individuals, a former Tabung Haji chairman and former Treasury secretary-general, also arrived at the court for their remand hearing. MACC detained these two men, both in their 60s, yesterday after they arrived at the MACC headquarters. The probe into the RCI report began on July 31, following its declassification.
