PETAJAYA: A former Housing and Local Government Minister was granted five days of assistance to the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Agency (SPRM) investigation following a report by the Royal Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (RCI). The news agency reported that the remand order was issued by Judge Ezrene Zakaria after the SPRM's application was granted at the Federal Court in Putrajaya.
The 60-year-old man was detained around 4:30 pm yesterday when he gave statements at the SPRM's headquarters in Putrajaya, believed to aid the investigation related to a hotel subsidy issue concerning the Hajj Fund (TH) in Saudi Arabia. The case is being investigated under Section 16(a)(A) of the SPRM Act 2009 and could result in a prison sentence of up to 20 years and a fine of up to five times the amount of the subsidy or RM10,000, whichever is higher.
