A businessman known as "Datuk Roy" who was remanded for three days to facilitate investigation into a corruption case involving the JanaWibawa programme was released on Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) bail today.
Lawyer Fahmi Abd Moin told reporters that magistrate Noorelynna Hanim Abd Halim released the 54-year-old as MACC had not submitted an application for an extension of his remand.
"My client will be taken to the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya tomorrow for a remand application on another case," said the lawyer.
The businessman surrendered himself at the Kuala Lumpur MACC office at 2.30pm on Monday before being remanded for three days from Tuesday, to assist in the investigation under Section 17(a) of the MACC Act 2009 for a corruption offence.
