GEORGE TOWN: Another "Datuk" of a company involved in the Penang undersea tunnel project has been remanded in investigations into the project.
Deputy registrar Muhammad Azam Md Eusoff allowed the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission's (MACC) application to remand the suspect, who is in his 50s, for six days until Jan 15.
The company senior official was arrested following a raid on Tuesday (Jan 9) in George Town.
On Tuesday, MACC personnel raided the offices of four state government agencies — the Penang Public Works Department, Penang State Secretary, Penang Office of Lands and Mines and Penang Valuation and Property Services Department — and three property development and construction companies.
They are Ewein Zenith Sdn Bhd, 555 Capital Sdn Bhd and Consortium Zenith Construction Sdn Bhd's Penang office.
Another suspect, who carries a Datuk title, was remanded earlier Wednesday in Putrajaya.
