PUTRAJAYA, Jan 9 — Two company directors and an officer from a ministry agency have been remanded by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) on suspicion of being involved in corruption to obtain approval letters for commercial vehicle licences without meeting the required conditions.
Following an application by MACC today, Magistrate Irza Zulaikha Rohanuddin issued a four-day remand order on the three individuals, aged between their 40s and 50s.
